Calm down, chaps and chapesses.

Speaking as a software engineer for a web solutions company, even if the material on that site were 100% accurate it would still fail. The aggressively ultra-patriotic American imagery is quite threatening to someone brought up in the United Kingdom, where it is almost unheard-of to see the national flag plastered over anything so liberally. The site looks amateurish; it has little content and no supporting evidence; and what arguments there are could be annihilated by an average ten-year-old with a copy of The Lord of the Rings.

What we have, then, is a site that is aggressive, ugly, ill-informed, devoid of really meaningful content, and which appears to rely entirely on emotive patriotic imagery to garner support. This campaign would fail against a small rabbit sanctuary, let alone New Line Cinema.

Let them think that they are making a difference and being patriotic. That way it will be more amusing to watch their campaign fizzle out and die.
