They want to comment because they want to look powerful, but power in this instance would be in total restraint. But then again those in the PR department are bored and need something to do. Afterall, you can only issue so many no comment letters about why somebody has been excommunicated for being photographed with his shirt off.

I'm currently boycotting HBO anyway. Too expensive.

Back in the day, when I did watch HBO, more than two decades ago, my main complaint was the continuous replay of the same shows. Does it still suffer from that problem? I understand they now have their own original programming, with some sports stuff such as boxing matches, but what else does it offer?

The only reason to have HBO is the original programming and the boxing.
So it made sense to have it when The Sopranos were on. Not anymore. Don't care enough about the boxing to fork out the dough. And the biggest fights are PPV and replayed a week later. |

What is their goal with the press release? Tell people they are aware of the problem? Why is this important for us to know? Tell members they are free to boycott HBO? Do any members think they aren't free to boycott HBO for some reason? Tell members they won't encourage a boycott? Why is this important for us to know? Tell HBO not to film the episode? Isn't this exactly what HBO wants them to do to draw attention to the episode? I don't understand the purpose of the press release. It takes multiple paragraphs to say nothing, and so they would have been better off actually saying nothing. |

If the church threw a fit, it would draw attention to the show. If it stayed silent, it would appear cowardly, or maybe ignorant. Here they simply say, "Yeah, we heard. Jerks. Oh well."
