cigarette makers were banned from advertising in most media, i see no reason the same could not apply here. and once again i thank my lucky stars that i live in the middle of nowhere.

As a big fan of horror movies I think it sucks that most of them suck these days. Great, now another crappy one will make a lot of money from the publicity.

My favorite comment from the link you provided, Somer:

<<look at it this way
if we don't want (fake) pictures of it on our streets we shouldn't be allowing our government to torture behind closed doors.
If we're smart (and women are) we should use this to our benefit.....
to congress anyone?>>

By the way, "The Descent" is really scary and not a bit of the scare came from eroticizing violence against women. Just a free plug for a movie I watched while peeking through my fingers.

reminds me of the outrage over the billboard advertising for the stones "black and blue" album in the mid-70s. a girl with black eyes tied up to a chair with a torn blouse. it was their worst album of the 70s and they felt they really needed some shock value to stimulate interest.
