My friend Hope pointed me to this story about the upcoming da Vinci movie (which will begin a new cycle of Adult Forum appearances); I imagine that the advertisers didn’t expect the poster to stay up, that they were only interested in the publicity in the first place.
Kevin pointed me to this Fresh Air interview with biblical-scholar rockstar Bart Ehrman, and (while we’ at it) Mark had pointed to a link to the Daily Show interview a while back. I’ll check them out, too, if I have time.
You may be interested to know that WInchester Cathedral is using the money it received from the filming of the Da Vinci Code to mount an exhibition rebutting much of the content of the film and book.
