Meanwhile, all of those people dedicating their days to protesting an comedic opera that is OPTIONAL TO WATCH and was on at 10PM [well after the kiddies bedtime] COULD have been out, say spending that time helping with the Tsunami appeal?

But [-X protesting against Jerry Springer the Opera is clearly a far more important use of time than say, getting a job, or helping the Tsunami cause.
