[nightnurse]

It's bloody outrageous....Big Brother lives , and I don't mean the crap programme

[Ditto]

That blogger guy is very funny. So, did this all get sorted then? Is the play still off and everything?

[Pixie]

*shudder* I keep my LJ locked to friends only, however harmless the posts. But even so... scary.

[PokerKitten]

Oh yes, the play is off.

I'm glad the BBC didn't give in to the pressure over showing Jerry Springer - The Musical though. It was freaking hilarious and a scathing satire. Loved it; would be great to see it in the theatre ;D

[Ditto]

I don't like Jerry Springer cos George Clooney doesn't like him and he seems like a good man much in the James Marsters vein and so I don't like Jerry Springer. Well, I never said I went in for lateral thinking.... Glad they didn't take his play off though. They'd no right.

[PokerKitten]

Lol, you don't have to like him... they really use his show to point up the dumbing down of the populace and the manipulation and whatnot. David Soul plays him; very funny!

[Pixie]

Sounds like a good laugh. ;D I like satires.

Brits may be interested in the C4 programme Dispatches this Monday at 8-00 pm - Holy Offensive

The flagship current affairs programme takes a timely look at the conflict emerging from tensions between human rights, religious observation and artistic expression. Reporters meet those on both sides of the growing divide to discuss where the lines should be drawn over such productions as Jerry Springer: The Opera, and the play Behzti which was set in a Sikh temple.
