Good pro-Springer sarcasm from The Scotsman
Mark Fisher at The Scotsman has penned a hilarious opinion piece on Jerry Springer: The Opera which contains more wit and intelligence in a few paragraphs than could be found in the combined brainpower of the entire membership of Christian Voice. With choice quotes from various people involved in the production including several Christian defenders of the show, the whole thing is well worth a read.
GENTLE reader, sorry to intrude on your Sunday breakfast, but it is our duty to deliver some distasteful news. Jerry Springer the Opera is returning to these parts and the very fabric of our society is once more under threat. You will understand, of course, that this wasn’t always the case. When the self-styled “operical” played to sell-out audiences of 800 a day at the Assembly Rooms during the Edinburgh Fringe of 2002, we were not to know the mortal danger we were in.
All this Springer stuff is becoming tiresome (although I’m all for +ve action if it means upsetting Massr Green).
I wonder if there’s any chance the writers of this epic will take on Intelligent Design next – there’s so much more fun to be had with those guys. Just dramatising the recent Dover trial would be a laugh.
Good stuff, thanks for the link.
