Zach has it so right when it comes to the latest boycotting movement by Christians. This time, let's have everyone boycott The Da Vinci Code.
That's right, folks. Let's boycott a fictional movie based on a fictional novel. The movie producers are probably freaking out right now - no, not over the boycott. They are probably excited about the amount of publicity that this dumb boycott will give the movie, which means more money for them and for the movie itself.
This reminds me of the huge boycott of The Last Temptation of Christ - a movie based on a fictional novel. The movie wasn't presenting their version of the gospel as truth. It was just a different idea (that perhaps took it a little too far).
Boycotting fiction. Another smart idea in the annals of Christendom.

That's it....we're gonna have to boycott your blog. You're probably one of them liberals or something.
flaming liberal. ;D
Matthew Paul Turner talks about the art of boycotting in his book, The Christian Culture Survival Guide. You are right, a boycott does not hurt the movie in the least, it only gives it more publicity. The fact of the matter is that this movie and book are FICTION. Maybe we should boycott churches that utilize this movie as way of drawing crowds. I am a little tired of the hype, can't we find something more important to get upset about? Like global poverty, hunger, the AIDS epidemic, abuse, etc. Something tells me that Dan Brown is hearing the sounds of cash registers and seeing visions of dollar signs while he sleeps soundly at night.
That's ok I'll see it anyway I'm more excited to see the remake of The Omen...another fiction movie :) I loved the original version(1976) with Gregory Peck
Your friend is right .how can you boycott Opie :)
