I don't think so. I don't see it that way. I see things differently than you do.
I think a Mormon temple porn flick is long overdue! The Catholics have taken it on the chin long enough and now the Mormons need to step up and get their just due.

The only thing on this list that might be true is #2. The other points are a gross exaggeration of the consequences of this potential act.
We'll eventually find out, won't we?

The Protect movement is about acknowledging and preventing sexual exploitation and abuse of children and now this stupid damned idiot is planning to come up with video footage sexually exploiting an LDS house of worship and you think that's cool?
Sam can very easily distance himself from Norton in the blink of an eye. It's really no problem. All he has to say is he doesn't agree or condone Norton's actions on Temple Porn. Easy as that. I'm glad that there is variety in efforts to thwart the church. Variety makes things interesting and covers all ground. Mormon Temple Porn might be a big hit. There are a lot of people that will enjoy watching it for whatever reason. Those who don't want to watch need not. Simple as that.
Desecration against the Temple? I don't give a damn. I believe in freedom of speech and expression. If people want to make porn they can do what they want as long as it doesn't involve under 18.

That threat was all bluff and bluster. There is no way Norton could penetrate the industrial laser defenses and survive the legion of zealous Dementors who would suck the life forces from his body. Let's see him make a porno when all that is left is flesh and bone - without even having bones in strategic places. It would be physiologically impossible.
