If the majority of people who attended southern baptist churches really participated in the boycott, it might have mattered.

You think not participating means that they aren't really following through the boycott because then they wouldn't have anything to show on the DVD in the SUV or that they never really supported the ideas behind a boycott in the first place? Is it lack of resolve or lack of support?

Yeah I think they probably agreed with the premise of the boycott, but they don't care enough to boycott the DVDs and toys and whatnot.

This is unsurprising and probably happens a lot with boycotts, but kind of funny in light of the position of principle I was working so hard to carve out for them.

A boycott doesn't work on any level, external or internal, if nobody really boycotts, but they have to be aware of their own hypocrisy the whole time.

I googled to see what I could find out about the end of the boycott in 2005, and this was among the result. Do you even need to click the link to know what it's going to say? Doesn't the web address say it all?

ttp://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils%20in%20America/Hellivision/boycott_gone.htm

Wow: The author of the site even hates The Chronicles of Narnia. Maybe they missed the memo about the Christian allegory and C.S Lewis and all.

And it doesn't work if the "boycotters" don't patron Disney, anyway.

"I've never bought a DVD, toy, or gone to their theme park...but I certainly won't now!!!" You probably wouldn't have without this boycott.

Also, what about the other products that Disney sponsors? Doesn't Disney have its brand name on things that aren't obviously Disney?

Exactly. Disney have put their oar in a lot of other ventures. I mean, they own ABC for starters.

Shiner-I knew we would but at least we can do it civilly.
