That's backwards...opposition doesn't translate into support....boycott doesn't translate into promotion. That's like saying that opposing John Kerry for President will encourage people to vote for him. I don't see how you logically draw such conclusions.
What? There a ton of people out there, young people in particular, who are going to say hey if this pisses off the church or some other authority figure, then Ive got to see it. Everytime some group of prudes has wanted to get some program off TV or complain about some movie, its driven up awareness, interest in and viewership. Dont you believe that the controversy over The Passion of the Christ enticed a lot of people to view it that wouldnt normally choose a religious film for their Saturday evening entertainment?
