Neocon, My guess is that he figures that the resulting controversy over the film will give him tons of publicity. Unfortunately we live in a society that has no problem with their kids seeing a person get decapitated on film, but gets worked up over the the mere prospect of their kids viewing expressions of sexual behavior.(I'm not talking about porn, or anything like that) When popular medium such as TV can routinely show death, injury and destruction, but sponsors will pull their ads if two women kiss, it says a lot. As a society we are more comfortable with violence than we are with intimacy. Mark
