Yes, we all understand why this is happening, it doesn't make it ok though (not just morally, but it's also against the broadcasting rules that the BBC has to abide by, just like all other channels, despite their existence all being to make money)
There is such a big lack of basic science understanding… You should not need an higher education in order to have some science understading and critical thinking skills…
What am i saying… if we had that we wouldnt have Trumps, de santis, boris johnsons, etc…
What was shown on television for several minutes has collectively cost those of us with ME days and days worth of energy, filling in complaint forms and having unneeded conversations with people about the reality of living with our condition.
the point being - trust that those impacting are doing the best we can to complain, and join in in complaining to OFCOM and/or help spread the word instead of just telling us what we already know.
You might not mean it to be, but it is downplaying not only the seriousness of the issue (many more people than you think still watch these shows, and if anything, it is those who are more vulnerable to scams who are more likely to still be watching terrestrial tv, which makes this even more egregious), but also the actions already being taken by those it impacts (including publishing pieces like the one you're dismissing to raise awareness in those who don't think they are directly impacted).
Well, dragon's den did come first, both originally in Japan and then in the UK, before the US version changed the name, so if anything is a parody it's them.. (I'm no invested in this or defending anyone/thing, just fyi-ing)
What Giselle Boxer presented were needle-less acupuncture "ear seeds". Based on traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture seeds trigger pressure points – and, from personal experience, acupuncture has certainly helped me temporarily sleep better.
I think what the previous poster meant is that any treatment adds the placebo effect to (hopefully) a real effect from the intervention. Ben Goldacre details this in his book Bad Science.
To add to this, the placebo effect is how we measure things don’t work.
If the action of effect is placebo, then the treatment is considered ineffective. The placebo effect comes about because people’s responses aren’t objective and can’t be relied upon.
In the UK it illegal to prescribe a placebo. It often happens, doctors recommend things like acupuncture and cough medicine, it gets people out the door and on to.the next patient.
Response from the BBC is as pathetic as you would expect, comparing this pseudo, or even flat out un scientific nonsense to wheelchairs? Tells you everything you need to know about how little they give a shit..
I will get downvoted into oblivion: This is ultimately a strange thing to do, though of course people who love the franchise and the films will like this too - I do appreciate why this is nice. But it’s clear that only a cringelord like Tom Felton would consistently do this - I think Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) is a bit more down to earth but perhaps he’s overly sentimental… You wouldn’t find Alan Rickman doing this! QED.
This is an odd comparison to make, Alan Rickman was an older experienced actor before harry potter, Tom Felton was a literal child that spend his entire puberty growing up while making if those movies. The sentiment is very different.
I understand what you mean thats its a bit cringe for our demographic but statistically he is the #1 most popular harry potter character with a very active fan group largely consisting of teen girls, is it so strange he sometimes trows them a bone while having an outing with an known actor friend? If he doesnt the paparatzi will no doubt.
What I actually don’t understand is how beyond that, its somehow news worthy with such an exaggerated title. I mean i do know why, clicks… still.
