Shaming men for their emotions. Does the mail know the male suicide rate? Think the DM need to get a grip themselves.

No its not acceptable and the DM needed to get a grip years ago as does anyone who reads and believes half of what goes into it.
They know it grabs the attention, that's all - just watch this thread.
Disgraceful headline grabbing rag of ill repute would come up with something like this.
Men have the same emotions as women and should not be shamed for showing them. I personally find it attractive in a man, it means he's in touch with himself and his feelings, infinitely preferable to some macho mask that people are forced to wear because of criticism like this. x

Since 'I'm A Celebrity' is the television equivalent of poking lunatics through the bars at Bedlam, for exactly the same reason - 'entertainment' - it's not surprising that the Mail is looking for a different angle to appeal to its (shamefully) vast viewing audience.

That's what this is - it goes hand in glove with the lack of human feeling that goes with the appeal of this tawdry spectacle, humiliating 'famous' people for the amusement of the masses.

Yes it's popular, but in its day, so was bear baiting. We should stop watching this show, because it appeals entirely to the base side of human nature, so the newspaper report, and the programme it reports on, are both unacceptable in the modern age.
I agree kval, My OH is a very manly man but cried on my shoulder when our cat was killed by a car.
Andy I totally agree, I think the demise of the 'Reality Show' has already started with dire audience ratings for X Factor, and Big Brother not getting any more series.
exactly AL. Mr Kval is a very macho kinda guy to look at him but he's soft as anything. Kids, animals, horrible happening and he'll cry quite shamelessly and that's how it should be x

Agreed Andy I'd rather eat my own knees than watch reality TV.x
AL - // I agree kval, My OH is a very manly man but cried on my shoulder when our cat was killed by a car. //

As a man, I have no problem with showing my emotions, or with any man or woman doing the same.

I have do however have a problem when people are deliberately put into situations of physical and psychological depravation in order to provoke those emotions, in the guise of entertainment.

I'm A Celerity is an extreme example of the emotion provocation so loved by TV audiences, but it is a creeping and growing phenomenon that seps into any programme where 'real people' are involved.

It's not good for the participants, or the viewers, and it should be reigned in on shows where it crops up, like X Factor, and shows like I'm A Celebrity, for which it is a central premise of the entire show, it should be taken off air.
Of course men have emotions, the difference being that many of us prefer to show them in private.
On a personal basis, if on the rare occasions that i cry, then i will go into another room and "blab".
Why, because i feel that it is a sign of weakness, something not to be revered or appreciated by the female sex.

But that is because i am old and from a different generation and the philosophy of life and it's problems is much different now.
If guys dont have the mental strength to perform the tasks that are typically set why do they sign up for these types of show - they cant be that short of money or is it to give their fading careers a push.

Usually, it's the latter, although why Harry Rednap has signed is a mystery, unless he's giving his fee to charridee.

True that ellipsis. Saw something circling Facebook regarding shaming the men who cried this year, (nick Knowles and Jamie for not getting their care packages) looks like i've uploaded an old article.

Harry rednap has done well so far with his challenges. Also, they were not crying due to the tasks, more the emotional aspect of being away from home. They have all been smashing the tasks this year so far.
It's typical of the Mail and its prurient attitude to modern society - I have banged on about its dreadful sidebar nonsense on its web pages, but the print edition is just as much living the school-boy 1970's mindset, gleefully showing disproportionately large photos of the lady participants showering, and endless banging on about Holly's 'thigh-skimming' skirts.

It's nearly 2019 for heaven's sake, get your writers and sub-editors' minds out of the 1970's and grow up!!!
why anyone wants to deliberately get their emotions shredded on live tv amazes me, after watching one episode that was enough.
That 'Newspaper' is more commonly called The Daily Wail. (and for good reason!) Did you know the The Mail was the ONLY British newspaper to openly support Hitler before WW2 ?
Eddie that fact has been put on here so often its getting tiresome.
I do believe you've told us, yes.

Not even close! Lunatics in Bedlam didn't have a choice.
