Not feeling the "Big Love"

An Entertainment Weekly columnist writes that "Big Love" producers want to again shock their audience. "(Producer Marc V.) Olsen suggests, 'It's more than just the Mormon culture. We're highlighting certain aspects of the church's relationship with its gay members that I think, as the story unfolds, is going to cause no (small) amount of controversy.'" Once again it sounds like Olsen and company are ready to blur the lines between a fictional fundamentalist group and what is practiced in the LDS Church. Bottom line: Producers are using their artistic license as a screen for misinformation and bigotry.
