KKC?
The following article appeared verbatim in the Hindustan Times:
"BBC To Air ‘Most Expletives’ Show Ever
BBC is all set to air the most expletive show ever, 'Jerry Springer and The Opera,' a musical which includes a whopping 8,000 obscenities.
The musical, which will be aired in January, contains 3,168 mentions of the f-word and 297 of the c-word. It also makes fun of certain religious groups and shows the klu klux clan.
Despite being one of the most controversial shows ever, the musical however is also one of the most successful and is reportedly watched by 12,000 people everyday and has also won several awards. It is based on Jerry Springer's chat show, which often took up contentious topics.
Insiders at BBC also revealed that show will be aired in it's original form without any cuts, "It will be filmed as it is on stage. Here will be warnings but we don't intend to cut it. Our audience will expect it to be broadcast uncut," The Daily Mail quoted a source as saying."
------------
I'm not a Springer fan necessarily, and I'm not opposed to musicals with naughty language (Southpark Bigger, Longer, and Uncut is the best musical that has come out in the last 10 years, and Stephen Sondheim agrees with me). However, if we are attempting to be a reputable news organization, shouldn't we use some spell check? Now I don't know, but I'm fairly sure the Ku Klux Klan would: A.) like their name capitalized; and B.) like it spelled correctly. I'm fairly sure, after all, that Time won't be reporting on "al-kaiduh" any time soon.
Blonde Statement:
They call it KKK for a reason... Duh...
