Butterly is almost producer-proof

Butterly: full name, Madama Utterly Butterly (Jonathan Airport, 2002, MTV, O2 Arena). Ground-breaking musical, noted for its gritty portrayal of Blairite Britain, the impact of the dairy industry on aviation, and nice-looking udders.

Isn't that the one where Pinky-Tongue is such a nasty cow that Butterly commits mooicide?
