Complaints! Complaints Again!! And more complaints!!!! Recently the details of the few shows broadcasted by TVB were unsatisfactory and had caused the audiences to complain. Some went to complain to the broadcast authorities, some directly went to complain to TVB and some went to complain to the news media. The programmes that received complaints are as follows - (Eurocup 2008) Drama (Speech of Silence) Drama (Love Exchange) and Documentary (On The Road III - The last feet binding village). On The Road III - The Last Feet Binding Village. (Picture TOP - Angie Chiu, measured 3 inch feets of bind feet ladies) Disgusting and Painful scenes First Complaint : On The Road III - The Last Feet Binding Village , the Hong Kong Broadcast Authority had received 2 complaints saying that the show had disturbing scenes - " The scene when the old lady that had binded feet removed her shoes and showed her bound feet." TVB explained : Wants Audiences to feel the pain of feet binding. The producer of the show responded to the complaints and asked the audiences to see the show in a positive perspective. "This is a record of the old tradition of China, the binded feet that appeared on screen is a reality. It is understood that people might not feel good after watching it but the reason we shot this scene is because we wanted the audiences to feel the brutality of foot binding." The producer also expressed that the recording is rare because the old women that had bound feet will eventually die off and disappear soon. The producer also stated that before the show is broadcasted, a warning saying that the show has some disturbing scenes is shown and the audiences have every right not to see the show. She hopes that the audiences will be more open minded and positive in this matter. Speech Of Silence (Picture Top,Kate Tsui plays a partially deaf girl) Producer and actors are too fake Second Complaint : The Show, Speech Of Slience is about the sound disabled people. There was a complaint by the audience saying that the actors and actress look more like people with mental problems. The sign language is inaccurate and the show had made some people feel that it does not have any respect for the deaf. Many people had boycotted the show and had almost caused a protest. Producer : I have done all information research and was prepared The producer of this show responded to the complaints. He stated that he filmed this drama because he wanted to promote to the public about the lives of disabled people. The importance of communicating and the patience of listening. He hopes the audience that had made the complaints will be patient and watch the whole series, instead of just seeing a few episodes and making a complaint. Because the show is about the disabled people, the producer discloses before they shot this series he had made alot of information research regarding this show. He had met with the disabled society and organizations. He had also arranged Kate Tsui to meet with the real disabled people. Regarding the complaint that the actors look stupid, the producer disagrees with the complaint. He says the actors that played the mute and deaf in the series are students of the sign language school, they are experienced about the sign language. The big actions they had made when communicating the sign language is normal and they are not insulting the disabled. Kate Tsui stated that when she is doing sign language in the show, there is a professional instructor to teach her. "Every actors in the shows had put in alot of effort to make this show. I would like to thank the opinions of the audiences. I hope that people can understand more about the disabled people through this show. I seek for the forgiveness of any mistakes and hope that people will like and enjoy this show." Eurocup - Spain Vs Germany (Picture Top,Nat Chan still happy after the incident) Spain versus Germany, Nat versus Complaints Third Complaint : The Broadcasting Authority received 2 complaints regarding the Spain versus Germany match of the Eurocup. Mingpao had also received a complaint letter complaining about one of the commentators, Nat Chan. The complaint says Nat Chan had used aggressive and provoking words when he was doing the commenting that night. He often breaks and stops the conversations of other commentators. He also seemed biased when he was passing his remarks. One example says "The German team look like a bunch of dancing monkeys with red backsides." This incident had affected the mood and feelings of many audiences. The person that complained had requested TVB to terminate their further cooperation with Nat Chan and suspend him as he is very worried that Nat will continue this behaviour when commenting about the Beijing Olympics. Nat Chan - I am invincible, no mistake, need not say sorry! Nat Chan responded to the 2 complaints. He says "Tell the 2 people that complained about me to sleep!" (Do you feel the 2 complainers have extreme views?) "I have extreme views too! Tell TVB fire me all you want!" "I am not getting any pay because I am a guest commentator. This is a football match. I support Spain, so I comment subjectively. It is normal and unavoidable so I need not be responsible. If I am a joker that is neutral, supporting both sides the audience will be bored and they will ask me to sleep instead! I am invincible, I need not apologize." Nat was asked if he will bring this attitude to the studio when he is hosting shows of the Beijing Olympics. He says he is a host, not a commentator in the Olympic broadcast, so he will leave the commenting to the professional commentators. TVB's high executive stated that the main commentators of that night's football match is Eric Kwong and Keyman, Nat Chan was just a guest commentator. Nat was invited to commentate as they believe he will make the match more lively. "Nat is a experience show host,and MC, I believe that he will do well in the Olympic show." Love Exchange (Picture TOP,the ghost scene) Green Faced Ghost scared the wits out of little children Fourth Complaint (Latest this morning) : Yesterday there was a scene where Anita Yuen was teased by her colleagues in the company. The scene is about her in the washroom and a ghost suddenly appeared to scare her out of the sudden. The Hong Kong Broadcasting Authority had received 2 complaints regarding this. TVB has yet to comment regarding this issue as it is still fresh from this morning. Too much complaints? will be in trouble if there is more.. TVB will get another warning from the Broadcasting Authority regarding these 4 recent complaints. 2 months ago, TVB received a warning for having disturbing and painful scenes in Super Trio, (Disturbing scenes of punishment,including using the clips to pluck out nose hair, using sticky tape to remove leg hairs.) TVB had also received a warning 3 months ago, regarding too much and too long broadcast of Lydia Shum's memorial service. Source: Mingpao Translated By: Edward @ http://******************/forums
