Thou Shall Not Enjoy Thyself
from USA Today

One day after a record-shattering weekend for Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, an advocacy group is asking Burger King to stop the tie-in of its Kids Meals with the film because it is rated PG-13.

Dove Foundation, a non-sectarian family advocacy group, sent an overnight letter to Burger King last Thursday requesting the promotion be stopped. It also conducted a national phone survey of 889 adults and says 83% felt the promotion was not appropriate for kids.

Surprise surprise, the Dove Foundation is a Fundamentalist Christian front. I am sure their "national phone survey" was a fair and representative sample of the opinions of all Americans, not just the Jesus Freaks looking to ruin it for everyone else. Dove Foundation, here is your hat.
