We are timeless - you are dead

Jerry Springer - the Opera is on BBC2 at 10pm tomorrow, unless of course they cave in to the demands of 15,000 morons such as the fellow in that picture. Be sure to watch or tape it!

I'd forgotten about that.

I was worried that this might be a publicity stunt. After all, have you seen anything about the terrible controversy from a non-BBC source?

Bugger. It would have been great if it was though, wouldn't it?

[missfrancesca.livejournal.com]

I wonder if it possible to register support for them showing it?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Similarly, I see the information on where to support the Olympic bid everywhere, but where do I register my displeasure?

[theresnorain.livejournal.com]

Yes, I want to see it as well
specially as I'm too cheap to actually pay to see it live

The BBC's interweb site has a form where you can speak your brain:

Cheers. I've registered my support.

[diamond-geyser.livejournal.com]

Yes. Ring the BBC duty log: 08700 100222

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

I just mailed them, as per Wardytron's response above.

There are probably Islamic fundamentalists looking at that picture, laughing and thinking "they've not got a clue, have they. I bet we could get that programme off the air in 5 minutes". I'm not going to watch it, mind, because I'm not interested and it clashes with Match Of The Day.

Stewart Lee used to explain how he was happy to diss Christianity but not Islam on the grounds that Christians wouldn't kill him. It's a fair point but still a little cowardly.

Anyway, Sikhs are the new Islamic fundamentalists.

"It wouldn't have got where it is if it was about blasphemy and language," the former Starsky and Hutch actor told BBC Radio 4's Today programme.



The show includes a nappy-wearing Jesus saying he is "a bit gay" while a reported total of 8,000 obscenities was reached by adding every swear word sung by each member of the 27-strong chorus.

So if it isn't about blasphemy and language, then....?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Well, I've not seen it yet but judging by Stewart Lee's past output I am expecting it to be a lot smarter than that.

And the multiple-counting of obscenities by the complainants is kinda pathetic.

Saves me buying a ticket to the show. Something decent on the BBC before Doctor Who kicks off. I'm being spoilt here.

apparently people are complaining that they pay they TV license and should not be sponsoring this blah blah blah...

do they know their money also goes to the other commercial channels and not just the BBC?

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Er, it doesn't...though admittedly you do need a license even if you never watch BBC.

Though they still don't have a case - on the same grounds I could object to all the license money of mine the BBC spend on sport and Songs of Praise.

did anyone see confessed christian David Soul on the BBC breakfast show this morning, essentially saying accepted anglo-christian imagery is a bit daft and jesus was black, and that being his defence?! go confessed christian David Soul, way to incense the silly complainers even more!

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

Also - were any of the campaigners in a film with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson? I rather think not!

[puzzled-anwen.livejournal.com]

I really don't get the whole Jesus was black thing, on account of: don't people understand that Bethlehem is in Israel, not Africa? and that people in that part of the world are, by and large, not black?

[violentbec.livejournal.com]

I WANT A TV!

[p-dan-tic.livejournal.com]

as someone who's seen it live pre david soul (not as good) and stuff I'd say it's overrated, good in parts but very patchy....

if you miss it you've not missed out on much

[ksta.livejournal.com]

[barrysarll.livejournal.com]

I shall keep the tape, then. Not that I've watched it yet myself.
