HBO is coming out with a new show that's causing quite a stir in the state of Utah. The show, about a Utah polygamist and his three sometimes desperate housewives, has the Mormon church and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, groups that have a history with polygamy but are trying to leave it in the past, to Tapestry Against Polygamy, and anti-poligamy group, and Principal Voices, a pro-poligamy group, up in arms for one reason or another.

In this article, which cover all the objections by the various groups in more detail, this is how the show is described:

The "Big Love" lead character Bill Henrickson (played by Bill Paxton) runs a home improvement store in Salt Lake City and is just opening another. Besides the struggles of his expanding business, Henrickson faces the challenges of life with three women (Ginnifer Goodwin, Chloe Sevigny and Jeanne Tripplehorn) and seven children, and the nefarious "prophet" (Harry Dean Stanton) from a rural sect in fictional Juniper Creek who wants his share of Henrickson's success.

I don't know about you, but any TV show that riles up people like this will more than likely make me want to watch it, at least at first to see what the fuss is all about. Besides, pissing off people in Utah for this reason is just fun.
