Well, don't feel too bad. The Brits actually pay a boob tube tax to watch this. A tax on each and every boob tube. And there are TV tax police to make sure citizens cough up. Folks who submit to that deserve inferior programming.

BBC chiefs last night REFUSED to give cash to a Sun swear box.

 

We invited BBC Controller Roly Keating to donate £1 for each of the 8,000 four-letter words in Jerry Springer The Opera.

The Sun’s Harry Macadam delivered a giant swear box to the Beeb’s London HQ, pointing out the money would go to the Asian tsunami appeal.

But a BBC spokesman said: “Nobody from the corporation is available to take part.”

However our plea was welcomed by passers-by, who also blasted the vile programme.

Driver Charlie Holson, 36, of Harrow, Middlesex, said: “Well done, The Sun. BBC executives need to wash their mouths out with soap.”
