Jerry Springer: The Opera

I was called out to the Dark Place on a mission of mercy, and had to record Jerry Springer.

And my video let me down.

I need to watch this thing, just to spite mediawatch-uk (aka the devilspawn of the evil Mary Whitehouse, may she rest in peace and shut the fuck up) and to get an opinion on the subject beyond my usual hatred of censorship and the moralistic Whitehouse bitch from hell.*

Does anyone have a recording of BBC2's broadcast last night, that I can borrow?


hmm, surely South Park: Bigger, Longer and Uncut had more swearing, if Springer's 8000 was determined by multiplying instances of swearing by the number of people singing in the chorus - a pathetically cheap trick by even the moral "majority's" standards. What about Uncle Fucka, with the entire nation of Canada singing:

Uncle
Fucka,
Uncle Fucka-Fucka-Fucka,
Uncle
Fucka,
Uncle Fucka-Fucka-Fucka,
Uncle Fucka,
That's U-N-C-L-E,
Fuck You,
UNCLE FUCKAAAAA!!!
*Suck my balls.* (Or however the song ended)

Hmm, yes, some prick of a church twat is taking out a private prosecution against the BBC for blasphemy. This was announced before they showed the performance, surprise surprise. (Although, to be fair, perhaps he'd previously gone and watched it in the West End, the cultured chap.) In all respect to the church and the Christianity it has wrongly claimed authority over, and bearing in mind I haven't yet seen Jerry Springer: The Opera, I despise anyone who tries to use the law against freedom of expression.

Okay, so people tend to make fun of Christianity a lot more than they do other religions. Hell, do you know why that is? Because western culture's reached that point where we don't kowtow to our dominant religion as much as we used to, and it's Christianity that stands up and tries to pass judgement on us most loudly on every social issue, and we're more knowledgeable about Christianity as a culture than we are about Islam, Judaism or whatever.

Plus there isn't a specific word that can be used to brand anyone criticising the religion (anti-semitism, islamophobia or whatever)...

Wow, starting to feel faint from hunger, pins and needles to the face, sweating. Going downstairs now, to eat lots of food, before I headbutt my keyboard...


*Sorry, an English Language degree, plus liberal tendencies, tends to get me riled about the dead harpy.
