Unlike politicians, I mean what I say, and I keep my word.

A long while back I wrote an article on FHK about a disgusting film called “Towelhead”. In that article, I said I would never again contribute 1 cent to the coffers of the actor Aaron Eckhart. Well, I have so far been true to my word, but its never been harder than this weekend. You see Aaron “rape a 13 year old” Eckhart is in the cast of The Dark Knight. And unfortunately I am a huge Batman fan. But, a promise is a promise. I will not be seeing The Dark Knight. I wont even bittorrent the illegally recorded version. I will have nothing to do with this film. Nor will probably see the 3rd installment of the franchise because AE’s character is recurring, and will probably be central to the next film.

I know this is a small gesture. There will be no difference in the ammount of ticket sales of the film. But, I hope, some people will recognise that when you say you will do something, about a small thing or large, it means something. A persons word is only as good as their character. Its time that people start holding themselves accountable for their words, whether its a political, social, or personal issue. Perhaps someone out there will read this and ask themselves if they are keeping their word when it matters a great deal or even when it doesn’t.
