Walmart Hit by Brokeback Protest
newyearsday:
Great points, Chris and Starbie. I do think it's very funny that Walmart refuses to sell certain albums over so-called morals and values, but when it suits their pocketbooks, they get all inconsistent and say it's because it is what they customers want.
By the way Chris, love the new double avatars! Glad somebody brought that up again about the "echoes" in the BBM poster. Even though cinematically I hardly think the two films are comparable, the posters are immensely so.

Thanks Jenny,
Yeah I thought is was pretty cool......i'm a Titanic film (one of those people that saw it 9 times in the theater) but I agree its nothing in comparison to BBM...

I mean I can't see people over here in England writing letters to Woolworths just because they are selling a certain DVD. I would have to say this is probably the one time in my life that I will say this, but I am actually proud of my country and happy to be living here! ;D

Becks, I agree with you for the most part, but don't forget about the thousands and thousands of Christians who protested against the BBC showing Jerry Springer the Opera last year. They mounted a massive campaign, got bucket-loads of attention, several high-ranking employees of the Beeb resigned in protest, and generally caused an enormous hoopla.
It ain't pretty. I was ashamed. But at least the BBC governors had the balls to stick to their guns. That I was proud of.

"But how many copies are they going to have to sell to [recoup] the losses of customers who they've offended and will no longer shop at Wal-Mart?"
LMAO! Who are they kidding? People that shop heavily at WalMart wouldn't shop somewhere else even if they found out Sam Walton himself wrote the commandments of the "gay agenda". All they care about is saving money - or, rather the illusion of it, LOL.
