Not even in jest, Anna. Not even in jest. The woman was evil to the core. If rubbish reality TV is the price to pay for a country with gay rights and mixed race relationships, then I consider it a paltry price and one well worth paying. And it's not as if she only opposed trash. HBO is (or at least has been) the best TV channel in the world - and you can be damn sure she'd have hated every one of their programmes. The Sopranos, Deadwood, The Wire - works of art every one, but to her petty little mind (if one can even use the word 'mind' of a poisonous worm) they have swearing and sex and violence so they ought to be banned.
I almost wish I believed in Hell, just so I could be sure that Mary Whitehouse was there.
