    From the BBC news site, it looks like the show is now going to be sell out!

    Well done to the DUP for making that happen! :D

    Well, Jenheiffer, my joke was removed, so you're right - no jokes about homosexualists or Mother Theresa allowed, jokes about God permitted.

    Why's that?

    Now let's see how long before free speech gets another punch in the nose here.

    Because no one sees the need to protect a fictional character...?

    I accept you cannot prove the existence of God. People's religious belief is obvious though, and it's their sensitivity we've been debating.

    Elton John (who's fat and has silly hair) leads such a crazy rock and roll lifestyle that his wife is a man, and for some reason I'm not allowed to make him the butt of my jokes. Weird.

    (Did you get that one?)

    Parody only works when they get their facts right though:

    1) Most Free Presbyterians don't kneel to pray in church;
    2) There's no way they could ever possibly be considered to be in the 'happy clappy' wing of the church!

    (That and the fact that it's not particularly funny)

    Are you a Free Presbyterian and if so did you favour the ban?
