BBC's Jesus sings Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now - MediaGuardian Excerpts: The BBC plans to mark the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ this Easter with an hour-long live procession through the streets of Manchester featuring pop stars from The Stone Roses and Happy Mondays and featuring songs by The Smiths and New Order. In the programme, called Manchester Passion, a character representing Jesus will sing the legendary Joy Division anthem Love Will Tear Us Apart before dueting his arch-betrayer Judas on the New Order hit Blue Monday, according to senior church sources involved in the production. ... The climax of the event sees Jesus sing the Smiths classic song Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now as he is being flayed by Roman soldiers.

Alas, it's unlikely to win much favour among the fundamentalists. But then, sometimes half the fun of a good work of art's watching people fret themselves into a funk because they think it's blasphemous.

What a waste of time by all the planners, the performers, and the low-lifes who will actually show up to watch this nonsense...
In fact, I'm wasting my time even commenting on this...just when I thought the "Spoof Morrissey Website" couldn't be topped, this shows up.

The funny thing is, I bet most of those saying how "great this is" and moaning about how the "fundies" will react wouldn't dream of doing the same thing to islam and Mohammed. Try it, and see what happens to you.

And they have to do "Temptation" by New Order.
But most of all... "The Boy With The Thorn In His Side."
