'Willard' ecard option is scary

NL horror pic's site not big on privacy

www.willardmovie.com

Other than a hip Nine Inch Nails-like music loop, there's nothing remarkable about the freshly launched Web site for "Willard," a March-opening horror movie from the scarers at New Line.

It has one major privacy problem, too; I'm not a big fan of sites that encourage site visitors to send ecards to their friends, and then use that information to market to the friends directly. Perhaps New Line doesn't actually do this, but its privacy policy says it might and nothing else on the site contradicts this.
