Cynical stock email response of the British Blasphemy Corporation – lets do something about it!

Cynical stock email response of the British Blasphemy Corporation – lets do something about it! January 4, 2005

The BBC is cynically dealing out a stock email which reads as follows to anyone who complains-

Jerry Springer The Opera was written as a theatrical entertainment show and as a fun, opera-musical-comedy piece based on the talk show phenomenon. It is not to be taken literally. Those who watch it will see that it is obviously a larger than life parody of the confessional TV genre and the culture presented to us in these real-life programmes (which themselves go out on daytime television).

It is not the intention of the BBC to offend any of our audience in any way or to offend any religious beliefs. I can assure you that your objections and concerns regarding this forthcoming broadcast have been made available to the production team concerned, in addition to the BBC TWO Channel Controller and relevant senior management throughout the BBC.

Thank you again for contacting the BBC with the strength of your views.

If I write a complaint the least they can do is answer my points. Even if you disagree with the issue, the BBC should have the decency of replying to our points.

Lets bombard them with the following email


I heard from www.adrian.warnock.info that you are replying to complaints about the Jerry Springer Opera with a standard e-mail. Consider yourself Blog swarmed.

Please read the individualised complaints and DO NOT air this blasphemy

Please do this even if you are not in the UK. The BBC has a global reach with news etc and would not like to offend Americans.
