Very dissapointed in...

....Jerry Springer!

Now that must take some doing when you consider the lowest common denominator trash that was The Jerry Springer Show. A show i'd thought they'd stopped making, but that website i linked to suggests you can still audition to get on, maybe it's a dead link i didn't pause long enough to check it out.

So how could someone who peddles such trash actually disappoint me? Well the controversial Jerry Springer the Opera is the source of my dismay. This has had the christian fundamentalists going absolutely mental and baying for blood. I just read a little bit of what was on that website and quite frankly i'm fucking delighted these arseholes are up in arms.

I have to admit i havn't saw Jerry Springer the Opera, but i certainly want to do so now. If these lunatics had any sense they'd ignore it completely, their moral outrage only advertises the show all the more.

Jerry was happy to endorse the show before the controversy broke, according to one of the shows creators Stewart Lee, "Springer came to the opening night and said it was so good he wished he'd written it," says Lee. "Two faced wanker. He somewhat shifted his position after the controversy. He called me a neo-nazi apologist. Only his change of mind happened behind closed doors, so no one knew about it - until now."

I'm glad the BBC had the balls to broadcast it even just once, chances of it getting a repeat? Probably not very good.
