This is getting silly

Group calls for boycott of Famous Players over same-sex ad

The ad in question, which began running Feb. 1, is part of the slide show before each movie. Lasting 10 seconds, it calls on theatre patrons to contact their member of Parliament to say they support the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Sounds fairly innocent to me but then again I'm a liberal. This is what the wingers said, I particularily like the part about unsuspecting moviegoers...

We are deeply saddened by Famous Players Theatres' decision to subject unsuspecting moviegoers to ads promoting same-sex marriage," Charles McVety, president of Calgary's Canada Family Action Coalition – which belongs to the Defend Marriage Coalition – said in a statement.

Ok explain again how supporting the charter if rights and freedoms is a BAD thing. Oh right I know ... it's bad cause it forces us not to disriminate against groups that offend us. Who the hell gave them any rights anyway

Think I'll go to a movie this weekend.
