::::I agree with Steelbeard1: since, as he documents, people outside of Wikipedia, coming from conservative, liberal, and neutral POVs are comparing the two movies, it's appropriate for Wikipedia to do so. [[User:Krakatoa|Krakatoa]] ([[User talk:Krakatoa|talk]]) 15:50, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
:::::I think you've missed the point. We (one?) source/s comparing the two films from a general standpoint, the Dallas News article. It's fine to mention this comparison has been made. It's quite another thing for us to use this comparison as an excuse to conduct OR in comparing the viewership figures. That would be little different from me trying to comparing the special effects in the two films because people have compared the two films. The Variety article does briefly compare the viewership figures but only as an aside and it also mentions other stuff like Growing Paint.

::::::I don't see how it still makes sense to mention it (besides maybe a mention that there have been comparisons, although there aren't many by critics or the media - sure there are probably some in the blogosphere, though.) Because they've been [barely] compared by people who've written articles, they're comparable? The fact of the matter is that one is a documentary on religion while the other is a fictional political comedy. They ARENT diametrical opposites, since they're have such different premises to begin with and it's ridiculous to claim they are just because the director said so. It should be removed.

Nevermind I've found a ref ACTUALLY COMPARING THE VIEWERSHIP FIGURES. It's unfortunate that the Steelbeard kept reverting to keep UNSOURCED information in the article when a reference was so easy to find. Yes I probably should have searched before I remove the information but to be fair I did search last time and I WAITED OVER A WEEK for someone to add sources [[User:Nil Einne|Nil Einne]] ([[User talk:Nil Einne|talk]]) 13:19, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

::Yet that doesn't make them anymore relevant. Isn't that weird? [[Special:Contributions/98.168.194.130|98.168.194.130]] ([[User talk:98.168.194.130|talk]])
