As I've stated before, I don't understand the mindset of the people that do that sort of thing....other than money being the motivation. So actually then, I guess I do understand the thinking about the bottom line and marketing end of it. So what it really boils down to is moral judgement calls on the marketers part.

A vast majority of the public is firmly opposed to this sort of material being pumped at them constantly by the minority who think it's cool. I suspect the people in between the two extremes are supporting the minority financially.

As you said Marcia, the minors and children factors invovled could make it a volatile issue.

I honestly don't think it will flourish as a tactic and will soon wither up and blow away. I hope so.

It would be wonderful to see people gather together to stand against this sort of thing...particularly across denominational lines. I suspect the people using these tactics will take the path of least resistance and seek a quick buck elsewhere.
