Just been reading about Jim Jeffries -
Categories: Just been reading about Jim Jeffries being dropped by the BBC for a religious discussion programme with Steven Allen Green from christian Voice.
It's fucking...makes me so...for fuck's sake...just...fucking hell.
I simply don't fucking get it. I don't understand at all. I didn't get it over Jerry Springer The Opera and I don't get it now.
Why is this 'Green" bloke and his horrifically offensive 'organisation' being given any publicity at all? Why is he even allowed on the telly?
I was going to write a post here ripping him and his views to shreds, but, despite the ease of this, what with his and his posse's views being SO childish, hypocritical and inconsistent, I just can't be arsed...
To be honest, having read some of the myriad of complaint letters and death threats that still arrive at the Avalon office about Jerry Springer The Opera (often written in crayon and usually using literally EVERY available bit of space on a hastily torn out sheet of A4 paper) there would have been no point in Jim going on the programme for a "discussion" anyway. A discussion would involve some sort of understanding of where the other persons argument is coming from. I don't think either party would have managed that, given that Steve Allen Green will not budge an inch on any of his vitriolic 'views' and Jim, despite clearly being an intelligent (if evil and blasphemous) man would not have been able to decipher just what christain Voice are so upset about. Like a pre-speech baby suddenly getting violent with one of its toys, you'll just never know what prompted it...
They are extremists, and Sky News has got me scared enough today (to the point where I am beginning to think it may even be deliberate...no, surely not...) to know that extremists are not a good thing. And, by the way, if I can't take my ipod on my flight home in a few weeks I will be shitting pink. Flying scares me at the best of times - I do not want to have to deal with it without an episode and a half of Family Guy to distract me.
But back to our friend Mr Green...
Look. (In my opinion) He's an absolute fucking maniac who spouts 'facts' that, I'm pretty sure, are often illegal and inciting. I just think that christian Voice should be ignored, it's the only way to combat them. They are a gang of teenage kids kicking a ball against the side of your house to get a rise out of you...if you don't look through the curtains they'll eventually go away.
And I've just realised that that's exactly what I'm NOT doing with this post so I'm going to stop. It's difficult isn't it?
And yes -I did deliberately use a lower case 'c' every time I mentioned christian Voice. If they are going to be infantile then so am I.
