Jerry Springer opera writers battle censorship - Yahoo! News

Jerry Springer opera writers battle censorship - Yahoo! News: "The musical is based on Jerry Springer's brash American talk show whose lurid topics include 'Honey I'm a Call Girl' and 'Bring on the Bisexuals.'

In the show which was garlanded with theater awards, viewers could watch a diaper fetishist confess all to his true love, catch a tap dance routine by the Ku Klux Klan and see Jesus and the Devil launch into a swearing tirade against each other.

As Christian protesters set fire to their television licenses outside the BBC, the publicly funded broadcaster defended its right to air the show on television earlier this year despite being inundated with complaints."
