Jerry Springer Opera
So the BBC show the Jerry Springer Opera and thousands of people are up in arms protesting over it. One group is even bringing a blasphemy prosecution against the BBC for it [news.bbc.co.uk]. I find it really odd that people have so much time on their hands to even be affected by these things. Surely it’s the BBC’s remit to provide obscure, challenging programming and such and push the boundarys of acceptability, or are we to be left with blandness that everyone can consider "acceptable"?

Exactly, and aren’t there more important things in life to get worked up about?
