Ah Christian Voice, for a bunch of bible-wielding, cunt-witted fucktards, you've got to admire their zeal.
Christian Voice are at the forefront of evangelical Christian Activism in the UK. You might recall them for their excellent campaign which stopped a small charity called Maggie's Centres receiving a certain donation. The donation was to have come from a special performance of Jerry Springer: The Opera by Richard Thomas and Stewart Lee and would have amounted to about £10,000. This money couldn't possibly be acccepted, since JS:TO is blasphemous, and the mouthpiece of Satan. Well done, Christian Voice. I'm sure Jesus would approve of your clever and excellent interpretation of his words.

Christian Voice's other campaigns include:
- trying to stop gay police attending gay pride marches
- promotting the boycotting of the Co-op Bank. They objected to CV's homophobia and asked CV to move their account elsewhere - in return CV surely did the Christian thing and offered the other cheek and started their campaign
- claimed that Hurricane Katrina had purified New Orleans of ‘abortionists… voodoo priests and homosexual tourists’; all this despite the fact that the gay quarter was one of the least affected. Not sure how the abortionist and voodoo priest sections of town got on mind.
They seem to bang on about homosexuality a lot, don't they? It's like they can't stop thinking about it... Homosexuality is, by the way, treatable and all you naughty poofs and lezzers are just pretending you don't like the opposite sex. Presumably you're also masochists and actually like being teased, insulted, abused, beaten or even murdered for the sake of your little pretence... Not 100% on that last point there...
Stewart Lee is currently promoting the tour of JS:TO with Q&A sessions before each run in a town, and is being heckled by Christians in the audience to the point where Lee cannot make himself heard. Now, either Lee's opinions stand up to scrutiny, or they don't. Shouting so much that he can't be heard makes the Christians look irrational and gives Lee kudos, even though we can't hear him. That only one of the twenty-five invited audience members who turned out to be the Jesus Army version of the SAS had actually seen the show doesn't bare well either. If nothing else, you think; fer fuck's sake, do these idiots not read the history books? Do they not recall how the best publicity Monty Python's Life of Brian ever got came from irrational religious people standing outside making it the must-see show of the year? JS:TO; it's The Passion of St Tibulous all over again!
Christian Voice's leader, Stephen Green says of JS:TO: ‘This tour can only bring the judgment of Almighty God on the United Kingdom.’
Well, we'll see, shall we Stephen? Let's make a list of all the judgements that occur during the time of this tour. It lasts until July 2006 . If anyone spots any judgements of the Lord that can be directly attributed to the Bearded One's feeling on JS:TO, please add them in the comments section.

Sainsburys have removed JS:TO from their stock after just receiving TEN complaints. I've emailed 'em to complain about their response. Here it is:
I have read that your organisation has taken the decision to remove Jerry Springer The Opera from your shelves after receiving a paltry ten complaints.
I understand that JS:TO is not for all tastes and that feelings run high on the issue but I feel passionately that your organisation has behaved in a cowardly manner on this issue. Free speech is a key part of British life and is something that should be cherished as a part of a free nation.
I know that organisations such as yours are ultimately motivated by profits and your duty to shareholders. I must therefore tell you that as a direct consequence of your withdrawal of Jerry Springer the Opera DVD from your shelves, I will no longer spend a single penny in your stores until you recant this decision. I generally buy my lunch from you five times a week and will often spend about £20 a week just on lunch, ignoring any other sundries I may happen to buy. I will also be posting a copy of this email on my website and will be informing all my family and friends.
I think you'll find that's rather more than ten people. Perhaps this will make you see 'cents' (sic)..?
Regards,
Fraser Marshall
