Distribution woes for Jerry Springer: the Opera
According to The Independent:
Major retail chains have bowed to pressure from a tiny fringe Christian group by withdrawing copies of a DVD of Jerry Springer: The Opera from stores around the UK.
Woolworths and Sainsbury have both taken the unprecedented step of removing the film from shelves because of “customer” concerns about the content of the musical, released three weeks ago. Sainsbury has admitted it received just 10 complaints.
MediaWatchWatch has identifed the “tiny fringe Christian group” as being Stephen Green’s charity-blackmailing Christian Voice and has helpfully linked to the customer feedaback pages for both Woolworths and Sainsburys so you can let them know what you think of their deciding what sell you on the basis of a tiny bunch of self-appointed censors.
