The book has sold 40 million copies, so I think that is kind of moot.
Either way, we just have to accept that there are a whole lot of people in this country that consider the book good entertainment. I don't have a problem with that.
I still believe that all these protests and publicity are only going to help the movie's bottom line. As I mentioned before, I wouldn't have even considered seeing the movie before, but now I'm kind of curious as to what all the fuss is about...
