Well, not to call you incorrect or anything, but boycotts work, and the AFA has been very successful in previous boycotts. Eisner's out at Disney, and Disney is about to release Chronicles of Narnia. They had intended to secularize it, but instead approached the same company that handled the Passion of the Christ, and contacted several Christian organizations to serve as focus groups.
Merry Christmas.

I don't doubt that boycotts work, but they have to have some truth behind them and be something people feel very passionate about. I doubt the lack of a Salvation Army bucket in front of Target is going to be an issue with 99% of shoppers. Eisner is out at Disney because they made some bad movies that no one went to see, and not because of any boycotts.

Have to wonder when the backlash against Narnia will come.
"A plot by Christians to indoctrinate our children."
School bans.
Referring to it as "that fantasy movie that isn't Harry Potter".
