Memoirs of an ad exec

Is anyone else put off by the marketing for Memoirs or a Geisha? First, it showed up in my local newspaper, and I did nothing. Then, it found its way to my Netflix envelope, and still I remained silent. And then, this morning, I finally got a chance to watch this week's episode of Medium.
"Oh look, honey, there's a special preview showing of [The Most Overmarketed Movie in America] tonight. You loved that book!"
"Oh let's get tickets"

They invaded my time with the Dubois family, and I won't be silent any longer.

Of course, I'll probably end up seeing it, but it will be under protest. I should get a t-shirt made.
