A Christian group trying to prosecute the producer and broadcaster of Jerry Springer - The Opera under blasphemy laws will take its case to the high court in London today.
Christian Voice wants to bring a case against Mark Thompson, the director general of the BBC, and Jonathan Thoday, producer of the award-winning musical, for blasphemous libel, but was refused permission by City of Westminster magistrates court. The group is hoping to launch what would be only the third prosecution in more than 80 years for an offence which carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment.
A life sentence for blasphemy? That seems a little steep.
Stephen Green, national director of Christian Voice, said in 2005 that the show portrayed Jesus as a "coprophiliac sexual deviant". A coprophiliac is someone who is sexually aroused by faeces.
Okay now on the negative side I find myself siding with an individual who I blame personally for much of the trashy television that fills our idiot boxes during the afternoon. But on the plus side I learned a new word, "coprophiliac". Although I am not sure when I will get a chance to use it.
I think that these people just need to lighten up.
Maybe take in a show or something.
Perhaps something uplifting like a a musical, or opera. LOL!
Yeah I know, I am going to hell.
