Tell people they are aware of the problem? Why is this important for us to know?

Tell members they are free to boycott HBO? Do any members think they aren't free to boycott HBO for some reason?

Tell members they won't encourage a boycott? Why is this important for us to know?

Tell HBO not to film the episode? Isn't this exactly what HBO wants them to do to draw attention to the episode?

I don't understand the purpose of the press release. It takes multiple paragraphs to say nothing, and so they would have been better off actually saying nothing.
Heh. Nice troll.
