Monty Python thinks it's not funny anymore. The musical Broadway play "Monty Python's Spamalot" has stopped ridiculing Britney Spears. They claim the pop star is already being "tortured to death" and they don't want to laugh at her anymore.

Pagesix.com reports that a lyric in their song "Diva's lament" has been modified to exclude Spears. They have changed it to reference Posh Spice instead because according to the song's author, Eric Idle, "We don't laugh at sad people."
