Time to boycott my local theaters....

I went to the movies tonight (saw "Orphan" - not a bad movie) and, as always, made sure that I arrived in plenty of time to see the previews. As we sat and waited through all of the commercials that are now tacked on to the beginning, we were hit with a commercial for this "film":

http://www.heritage.org/33-minutes/

Evidently, our local theater chain here in the St. Louis area (Wehrenberg) has decided to give this a single showing at all of their local theaters. Has anyone else seen this at your local theaters?

I can say that I will be sure to use a different movie chain in the future and will be sending a nice letter to this company.

On edit: For those who do not want to click the link (completely understandable) here are the highlights. The Heritage Foundation would like you to know that if North Korea decides tosend a missile our way, we have 33 minutes before it hits. The best way to deal with this, of course, is with a state-of-the-art SDI system. The preview was military/neo-con masturbation covering our ability to shoot missiles out of the sky. Also starring the Czechs and Margaret Thatcher, all saying how the world is counting on us.
