I tried to like that show. It was incredibly boring.
I'm sure a press release like this is exactly what the producers were hoping for to create buzz. |

The wording of the press release is amusing, though. Basically saying a boycott would really hurt those companies, and the church wouldn't be opposed, but the church won't request that people boycott, they should just do what is right (i.e., boycott). |

Is the church going to threaten a boycott of Skinemax and the Playboy Channel next, lol?
How many apostles are watching HBO I wonder? |

Hmm. That press release manages to say very little. That's about as good as saying "we're ignoring this" but still acknowledge the problem.

Or more importantly, can the church expect such results from its membership acting against it?

I don't disagree. But AA seemed underwhelmed and I'm curious why.

I think the statement is more than they should have done. If they had refused to acknowledge the show's existence that would have been a better cut. For the record, I have never seen the show, but then again there are many shows I have never seen.
However, for those who view it, they tell me it is boring.
