Go Jerry

The 'uproar' over the BBC's screening of Jerry Springer – The Opera has reached new levels, with BBC executives now being protected after threats of violence were made. The opera contained frequent swearing and a slightly odd reference to Jesus.

This marks another disturbing example of the gross intolerance seeping from the conservative right. We have always known that the right wing harbours all sorts of unpleasant, intolerant, homophobic, racist and sexist thinkers. But it seems now that the 'nasty side' of the right may be running things.

The campaign against Jerry Springer – The Opera has been spearheaded by MediaWatch UK, Mary Whitehouse's old gang of puritans and troglodytes. If you disagree with their behaviour (including flooding the BBC with more than 50,000 complaints about a programme before it was screened), try visiting their website (incidentally, this is likely the worst website in entire world. It has a warning on it stating that sometimes the links aren't right because you need to have a '/' rather than a ". Why don't you just fix your links, you bunch of stupid maniacs???) as often as possible. This will slow down their server, and maybe cause them to use too much bandwidth. I advise that for this task, use the Firefox browser. This browser allows you to set an auto reload once every second for a website.

Alternatively, you could telephone them on 01233 633936 as often as possible to explain how you don't much like a tiny minority group of extremists trying to control your television stations.
