Jerry Springer: The Opera

I didn't see it. But I'm amused (and a little unsettled) by the fuss surrounding it. The BBC 'Have Your Say' pages, in particular, have some gems: "If only the people who post their messages here in support of this production, were aware of the consequences of such blasphemy."

Er, yes.

And then there's Stephen Green's what-a-surprise-I-never-expected-that reaction to people harassing BBC staff after his Christian Voice website published their home phone numbers and addresses. Basically, he denies any such intent: "We totally abhor stuff like that, it does no credit to the cause of Christ," and "But I was a bit naive in thinking perhaps our website would only be visited by Christians."

Um. So it's all the non-Christians visiting his site who are threatening BBC staff because of perceived blasphemy? Riiiiight.
