Shakran is very right. Don't like it turn the channel. Noone is forcing you to watch it. But yet you keep drawing more and more interest to it.

So let me ask the Dems (of which I am proudly very much one) on this board.... (of course you'll get your knickers in a bunch but....) WHY are you personally so scared of this movie that you need to fuel interest into it?

ABC/Disney has worked this beautifully. And no ABC/Disney is not heavily slanted to the right, they are a media company out to get as much of the entertainment dollar they can, that plain and simple.

As I showed above and other than Elphaba, my fellow Dems. ignored it and played the game of advancing the interest. WHY?

I know they aren't making money, but WHY are they so scared?

Do they believe that the people are so stupid that this will influence the vote? That's pretty shallow, to believe that you can see what is going on but the vast majority will be duped into believing the movie and it will hurt the Dems come election time.

And if that is the case, WHY are you making such a big deal of it based only on press clippings and the great reviews (Limbaugh, Drudge, O'Reilly, etc) and words, or the anger (Michael Moore) given to it by PEOPLE WHO FINANCIALLY BENEFIT FROM ITS SUCCESS?

Do any of you honestly believe that by yelling and crying and pouting and whatever, over a movie the general public HAS NOT EVEN SEEN YET, is going to turn people away from it? Hell, fucking no!!!!! The more you cry, complain and make a do over it the more attention this movie gets, the more people want to watch to see what it has to say.

The more you cry foul and bitch and moan, the more people watching outside party lines will wonder how much IS true.

Like everyone else, YOU hadn't seen it, but you bitched about what you were told was going to be in it. How do you know..... oh yeah press clippings and talking heads (and again, most of those talking heads both Left and Right have financial ties to ......... what media company??????? Oh yeah Disney and Disney owns ABC and again, I reiterate.... the more interest sparked, the more people watch the more money made, and all those people who CREATED the controversy make a little more and see their media company strike big bucks.)

In the end, it just amazes me...... some of these Dems are acting like the Religious Right and crying over dramatic creativity. CENSORSHIP IN ANY FORM IS STILL FUCKING CENSORSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!

You don't like what it said AFTER it airs fine, debate it, prove it wrong, etc.

But you sit there drawing more and more interest to it, by demanding "partisan equal time" or "ABC better make sure they tell everyone it is based on truth but there were parts that were just GOP wet dreams added" whatever...... you are drawing the attention to it like a moth to a flame and when it airs...... and none of the stuff you cried over is in it (or very little of it is) the people are going to wonder even more about what was sooooo scary for the Dems and may start believing where there is smoke there is fire.

In conclusion..... YOU are creating the controversy, YOU are driving people to watch and YOU are going to make the movie bigger than it needed to be.

WHY?????? Because you fell into the perfected media trap of crying foul, bitching, moaning, coming out with rebuttals, and so on..... to a movie that hasn't aired yet and probably without controversy wouldn't have gotten any damned ratings.

It's like dropping a 10lb bag of sugar on top of an ant hill.......... instead of just picking up the still unopened bag, you have to knife it open and pour sugar all over..... then bitch because the ants are in the sugar.

(I just made that analogy up.... I like it).

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
