Is Big Brother an accurate guage?

I thought it was actually lower than that for having at some stage those particular tendancies/experiences (1/5), but I thought that people who actually identify with being gay and consider themselves as gay (what I mean by openly gay) were about 4 or 5% of the population.

I'm 20 and I can't stand the "ess aitch one tee". Everywhere I go in the evenings seems to have Big Brother on, though.

I don't like being generalised with "my generation" as I honestly believe I'm very different to most people my age. Most people my age that I know, anyway. This is probably why I don't have much to do with people my age though, I guess.

Anyway, I know I'm at the bottom of that 20-30 age group, but I can't say I know too many people within that age group that are much like the sort of bell-ends who "acheive the great heights, fame and glory" that is Big Brother. I know a few members of the prettier sex who'd fit right in, but not really many blokes. Maybe a couple. But again, I don't have much to do with many people my age. I think I've weeded out the majority of the tossers.
