Jerry Springer film banned from supermarkets

A small number of Christians have managed to get two supermarket chains in the UK (Sainsbury's and Woolworths) to take the controversial Jerry Springer: The Opera of the shelves. Christian groups have been complaining for a while now, to anyone who'll listen, because the show apparently mocks their beliefs.
This particular incident isn't a big deal, but it sets a bad precedent. We really don't want opinionated minorities telling us what we're allowed to buy in the shops.
I'm going to have to get a copy of this. I wasn't particularly interested in seeing it, but if it can generate this much ire then there must be something to it.
