Here's a different take on this subject. We received this e-mail yesterday. The name of the author has been deleted. Have any of you run into this situation as yet? Comments?
" Now that the advance screenings of Mel Gibson's film "The Passion of the Christ" have confirmed everyone's worst fears about its incendiary anti-semitic content, Mel Gibson's name will forever be associated with anti-semitism. I would like to request that you remove his image from your home page as he is no longer an artistic icon deserving of respect, but a religious zealot whose wealth and fame have blinded him to western civilization's most enduring evil, an evil repudiated by the Second Vatican Council (although Gibson's sect considers the Vatican too modern and progressive!!!)
Rabbi Marvin Hier, Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center said he was "HORRIFIED" after watching the film. Abraham Foxman, National Director of the Anti-Defamation League, said after screening the film that "it will strengthen and legitimize anti-Semitic feelings...and set back the dialogue between Jews and Christians by decades."
I presume it is unnecessary to inform any businessperson who has researched the demographics of East Brunswick and environs that publicly insulting Jews by taking part in the distribution of this film would be met with a consumer boycott and backlash commensurate with that deserved by any business and franchisees participating in the dissemination of blatantly hateful anti-semitic propaganda. Given the long years of thoughtful, dedicated planning that went into the creation of Mega Movies, I'm sure you are aware of your public, and we can count on you to avoid this film like the plague. "
