After Word - Artistic Taste

The following quote from a 'trailer' is a small codicil to an earlier posting about the premature closure of a play that upset members of the Sikh faith. (It has no direct link to France and is not an attempt to re-run the last debate - just thought folk might be interested.)

'The BBC 2 plans to broadcast Jerry Springer The Opera immediately after Christmas. This musical, notorious for containing over 8,000 expletives, depicts the characters of Jesus, Mary and God as self-centred sexual deviants who give and receive extreme verbal abuse and a horrific series of blasphemies all in the name of comedy. The show's artistic director admits that it is a deliberate attack on good taste and the BBC concedes that the intended broadcast "pushes back the boundaries of taste and decency"'.
