Didn't see this posted, yet, but maybe it has been.

The Utah-based Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has now launched a million-dollar ad campaign in the Big Apple, with a Times Square looping video staring down at tourists and ticket-holders around the corner from the Eugene O’Neill Theater, where the raunchy “Book of Mormon” satire about LDS missionaries in Uganda has been playing to wildly applauding audiences.

I am heartened to see The Church beginning to fight back against bigoted anti-Mormonism, not with shrill attacks of its own, but with true and accurate representations of real Mormons. It is good to know The Church has the resources to fight Satan and those he inspires to rage against the Lord's true people. If The Church had had more money in the 1840s, maybe it could have fought a valiant PR campaign and saved the Prophet from his martyred demise. If not for this "I Am a Mormon" campaign, I wonder if the hate stirred up by things like this abominable musical would lead to violence against Mormons, yea, perhaps even against President Thomas S. Monson himself.

They will never find tubbietommie because he is in hiding with all the [deleted] branch presidents and members who are running from the border patrol.
How do you know the musical is 'abominable' if you have not seen it?

Frank is right. The battle is starting. What side are you on? The mocking side or the side of right?

Could it also be to soften the terrain for Romney and/or Huntsman?

More importantly, why me, which side are you on?
Shut up or put up.
ETA: Shutup about the battle starting. Only in the puny little minds of Mormons is there a battle. If you have not noticed, the rest of the world does not give a flying rats ass about Mormonism.
Mormons are not persecuted, they are merely made fun of.
