JK2006	Maybe, just maybe, the vociferous complainants are right. I can't stand the writing of Salman Rushdie. But I wouldn't want his words supressed or him killed however. Others would.
Blue Boy	Just because something is controversial doesn't make it good or appropriate for a particular slot on a Xmas TV schedule. I agree with the reviewer from The Times who also thinks a line has been crossed. “The graphic duets are lurid and sexually abusive and some may draw the line at seeing a pregnant woman punched in the stomach and garrotted with a rosary. It’s not often you hear boos at the Wells, but these were well deserved.” Maybe (just maybe) the fact that people are walking out of the theatre means that the content isn't going to be popular/good enough to justify a national TV screening.
JK2006	Further proof that anything outside the norm must be stopped... entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts...e/article6933699.ece
JC	If issues are not raised in some kind of art format, then they tend not to be properly discussed by the majority in society. Ignorance is our worst enemy.
JK2006	Yes I'm afraid my opinion is that anything is permissable in a work of fiction and the conclusions must be drawn by the viewer/reader/listener. The start of the chipping away censorship ends in a holocaust. Yesterday they came for me. Tomorrow they may come for you.
