Besides, on a slightly different note, it's not as though we are being led in shackles to the movie theatre. There is absolutely nothing forcing us to go and see the crap Boll produces.

Unfortunately, for voting, I can see this, but for signing a petition that takes less than ten seconds to do, I cannot.

ROFLMAO Siberys, you are the funniest guy on Gamebanshee

Regarding the actual petition, I agree with DW, Xan and others that if you don't like a movie, don't see it. A petition is something I sign to demonstrate my opinions about a cause that needs support. That's sort of the point with petitions. You support people who need it, you try to influence because those in need has limited or no possibilities to influence things themselves. A petition for something that is altogether an individual choice that does no actual harm, is just parody and therefore uninteresting to me.
