Here's another suggestion for caution. Latex paints hate Goo Gone. Even if it sticks, you can end up with a wall that looks like someone left a piece of pizza on the other side. 
If the wall surface is at all smooth, the residue should be easy to sand without damage. How much residue? Try warming it up so it'll ball up again, or cooling it so it crumbles.
My god this is a long thread. Not that it says anything new about duct tape...

There are a vast number of people who are uninformed and heavily propagandized, but fundamentally decent. The propaganda that inundates them is effective when unchallenged, but much of it goes only skin deep. If they can be brought to raise questions and apply their decent instincts and basic intelligence, many people quickly escape the confines of the doctrinal system and are willing to do something to help others who are really suffering and oppressed." -Manufacturing Consent: Noam Chomsky and the Media, p. 195
