That really would be tasteless...

This film has a strong enough topic/premise that it should play on an unbusy date as was originally planned. This film will generate tons of controversy on talk radio, Fox News, CNN, et al if marketed correctly and as in-your-face as they can do it. If it opens during the summer, a lot of that chatter will be drowned out by summer blockbusters - it probably won't snag the cover of Entertainment Weekly in June either - and with the director of Borat and Maher it def had/has a shot. This film has a lot more potential at the box office than Sicko. Easter would have been a bit tasteless (see Golden Compass at Christmas), but should have been the spring. With Huckabee's ridiculous religious statements as of late (and Romney's, on down the line), I can't wait for this flick! Finally some sanity to the man in the sky with the thunder bolts!
