This has nothing to do with the wedding, but it does have something to do with things that I am passionate about

Go to this page and memorize as many of the company and channels as you can.

WB has just announced that they are pushing back the release date of the next installment of the Harry Potter series from November of this year to July of next year. Check Yahoo and www.mugglenet.com to confirm.

I plan to boycott as many, if not all of the company's as possible. Their reasoning for this is that the writers strike this year slowed the market for releases of movies and T.V shows this year, and that they can reach a broader audience by waiting till next summer to release the movie.

1: The writers strike did not effect any movie being produced in the UK
2: Any one who has ever gone to a midnight release of the movies or books knows that people will find a way to be there opening day even if it were on Christmas morning. I know that after working a 14 hour shift I went to the release of the 7th book full well knowing that I had to be up at 3am that morning to be back at work for another 14 hour shift.
3: The only reason they are doing this is to they can make a couple million extra dollars.


It is pitiful to me that they are willing to do this to litterer hundreds of millions of fans just to make a few extra bucks. I dont think they realize the back lash that they are about to incur due to this terrible mistake that is being driven solely by greed.

Think about it. If the Potter fan base shuns the release of the last two movies, that will be done in three installments, and and all of their subsidiary company's, they could very easily loose billions of dollars. I already refuse to go to Six Flags because they are over priced. ($5 dollars for a small soda and $8 for a small fry, give me a break!)

Several of the channels that they list happen to be favorites of mine, and I am willing to not watch any of the programing offered there because of this.

Some people believe that this is so they can make a killing when the Twilight series releases their first movie next year. And that may be right. But due to their blatant disregard of the fan base which drives this market, I will not go see that or any other movie put out by WB or New line Cinema. It panes me because I was truely looking forward to both releases, but if this is what it takes to make this giant of a corporation realize that it can not treat its consumers this way, then I will do it. Even if it means that I do end up missing out on wonderful movies and great TV shows from now on.

I know that most of you will not follow my lead, and that you are not willing to give you some of the fun stuff that you look forward to, but I feel that it is nessisary to show them that the company does not rule the market, but it is the consumer that decides weather a buisness will succed or fail.

It takes years to gain a loyal customer, and only seconds and a stupid mistake to loose them forever. This is their stupid mistake, and they have lost this consumer and her family's loyalty and money forever.

Boycott Warner Brothers...
