Crucifixation of The Book of Mormon By Daily Hate

Cowardly, cynical satire that I tired of in ten minutes, Quentin Letts reviews The Book of Mormon

There is not much subtlety to The Book Of Mormon, a much-hyped American musical which has landed in the West End. Its satire is insistently US college-campus adolescent. I tired of it after ten minutes.
The show takes the mickey out of clean-cut Mormon missionaries who travel from Salt Lake City to Uganda to spread the word. Ha ha, Mormons. How liberal America sneers at these harmless folk and their Charlton Heston view of Biblical history.
The Mormon kids expect Africa to be like Disney’s Lion King. Encountering Aids and civil war, they learn they must break an important rule of Mormonism: They must lie.

In the hands of an Evelyn Waugh this idea might work but the writers – who also created TV’s South Park comedy – pummel the thing to death.
The opening number shows Mormons ringing American doorbells and selling their faith. When they reach Africa they are baffled because the shanty huts do not have doorbells.

Fuck off, reviewer.

It's not harmless, and sneering is the least it deserves...

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

Damn, I hoped it was the book, not the musical.

Funny thing about Matt & Trey: They admire the hell out of Mormons.

Yeah, you can see it in the interview with them. It's what makes the article by the mail all the sillier.
