Responding to negative comments regarding the Chapter 27 boycott


For anyone to believe that the people involved in this website are "fascist" or against "Free Speech" are truly misguided. I for one have no problem with this movie being made, I have a problem with the reason for it being made. Chapter 27 was written and produced for one reason and one reason only. To make money, anyone who believes this film was made to do a psychological study of an insane murderer has no clue. Do you believe the shareholders of Peace Arch Entertainment, a publicly traded company, could care less why MDC killed John Lennon.
As for Free Speech (by the way, we have NEVER deleted any negative comments on this blog), not only are many of us financial supporters of EFF.org, but we volunteer our time to ensure that the government leaves what little is left of the First Amendment and citizens rights to privacy. Secondly, if you notice at the bottom of most of our posts , we offer a few "catch phrases" from the Howard Stern Show. You are not reading the writings of an uptight group of people, we just feel the need to educate people, before giving their hard earned dollars to the greedy pricks involved in Chapter 27.
Below is a segment from one of our original posts at Boycott Chapter 27. , I believe it clearly states some of the reasons for our passion against Chapter 27:

Let me explain some of the motivation behind boycottchapter27.org and the petition that many of you dismiss out of ignorance. A boycott does not equal censorship (censorship by definition can only be carried out by a government or governing body). There is no correlation and obviously the correlation is inverse (as a boycott is the truest form of free speech), this boycott is being presented for 3 reasons.
The first of which is to work to cause any economic hardship possible for the company responsible for glorifying the murder of John Lennon, it's not being done for Yoko, or to damper free speak, only to spread the word of the greed being perpetrated by "Peace" Arch Entertainment.
The second is education; the teenagers of today are about to be sold a film utilizing "stars" (Lohan and Leto), with no understanding of just who was destroyed by this maniac (other than...Wasn't he the singer in the Beatles?, I think my mom listened to them).
Third, if this film and boycott can be used as a stepping-stone for a message of peace (especially to youngsters) or peaceful demonstration then perhaps all is not lost. Many of you pose yourself as intellectuals, but when you put down individuals attempting to make a difference, that my friends is not very intelligent.

Be sure we will continue to press on.... REMEMBER JOHN LENNON, NOT HIS KILLER!!!
BOYCOTT CHAPTER 27
