.. so then, where is the outrage over everyday television material??!

Every show seems to be about women and children as victims, mostly murder or abuse and murder. Or just people treating other people very badly. (Yay for the Animal Planet channel and the Food Network).

The advertising to get us to watch this stuff or that supports it financially, commercials and infomercials, further batters our intelligence and common sense with insults and mistruths.

Yeah we can turn it off. And we can not go to movies. But for the majority of people, TV is on all the time and so is more pervasive. The things people allow into their homes via TV wouldn't be welcome if it was real life.

That's where I disagree with you. You can read the descriptor of the TV programme, you can flick the channel quickly.

Public advertising such as this which is so deliberately strategised as they apparently plan to is not giving people ANY option to avoid it.

Hey I think it's a clever media mix, but in this case I feel like from what I've read it would simply shove it in people's faces.

The fact they are backtracking in the way the link I posted suggests that it really is a drama llama strategy ...

I have nothing against the movie, in fact I'll probably go and see it when it comes out here
