THE REAL WORLD WILL BE DEMANDING ON FRIDAY
I'll try to get something blogged in the evening, but don't count on it.
Meanwhile, there is this little gem from Australia:
CanWest says the screening of a controversial South Park cartoon on its C4 channel last night resulted in a massive boost in its ratings.
The television company says seven times the usual number of viewers watched an episode that included the Virgin Mary menstruating.
According to the article the Catholic Church is protesting to the Broadcasting Standards Authority.
Somehow I don't think any Catholics will be blowing up any buildings as a result, however.
Meanwhile Irfan Husain, commentator for the Khaleej Times online, believes that the religious reaction to the infamous cartoons is turning into a political action.
