Get HBO's attention

Hearing that HBO would show a program depicting polygamists going through LDS Temple rites outraged my wife and me. The only way a

polygamist can go through the temple is to deceive authorities of the church. Polygamists are not accepted as Mormon members in good standing. I called my cable provider and canceled my HBO subscription. The provider asked for a reason. After being told, the provider said 77 subscribers had done the same thing that same day.

Great! This is a way to get HBO's attention: Change to a competing provider.
