No, But No, But No
‘I DONT understand people who complain about the BBC showing programmes like Jerry Springer The Opera.
| Bring on the tsunami |
If they dont want to watch it, then dont. Its not as if there is a shortage of alternative TV channels these days and, failing that, what about a good book?
Or even, given the nature of most of the protests, The Good Book.
There are plenty of things the BBC broadcasts that I object to like Songs Of Praise, for example but Im with Voltaire in defending their right to show it.
The Daily Mail can huff and puff all it likes, but the BBC is absolutely right to ignore an orchestrated campaign that anyway only managed 40,000 complaints.
Such is the wonder of modern technology that most, if not all, TVs are fitted with an off button, which means that all of us can escape what we dont like.
At least, most of the time. If the Daily Mail wants to jump on a bandwagon, perhaps it should get the BBC to take Little Britain off air.
Not because its awful, although it is. If we took all awful shows off air, we would be back watching the Test Card girls endless game of noughts and crosses.
But because of all the idiots who think parroting the catchphrases of Vicky Pollard, Andy and Lou and the shows other characters is funny.
Its not. Like the show itself, its not funny, its not witty, its certainly not original.
And worst of all there is no off button.’
