BBC NEWS | Entertainment | TV and Radio | BBC boss defends Springer opera

What a laugh! None of these complainants have actually *seen* Jerry Springer - The Opera, yet they dismiss it totally out of hand. I HAVE seen it in London's West End and I can confim that yes, it does have a lot of swearing, but then I've heard swearing in Michael Tippett "high" modern opera. It is also irreverent, witty, eloquent and extremely clever, not to mention hugely award-winning.

The point of JS-TO is that it sets out to critique the very thing that the narrow-minded are complaing about, if they actually took the time to watch this first before judging it (unlikely considering how narrow-minded these people are) they might at least see the intelligence in the piece.

Message to the "Offended" - If you don't like it, SWITCH OVER TO ANOTHER CHANNEL!!! No-one is making you watch it!
