The marketing campaign promised something much
more daring, even transgressive. What mattered more at the time was
perception rather than reality. In addition to bringing in many eager
viewers, the Times Square sign, like the subsequent newspaper spreads
and posters that used the same image, was such an obvious provocation
that the church, and its lay defenders, could not and did not ignore it,
especially during the Christmas season.
