Personally I am really looking forward to it, I know some of my players would be at least unpleased by the fact that they're on earth (this is why I was never able to play V:tM with them) so I will not tell them!
Smart move.
Really, I would not telegraph any of this AP in advance. Not to trick your players, but they should enjoy the story as it unfolds. The trip to Earth is just a few days in the course of their character's life.

And if someone is for sure that the slightest hint of that kinda thing could seriously disrupt the fun of their group, then by all means find something different to run.
If it doesn't jazz someone, it doesn't jazz someone. You can't force that kinda thing.
All said and done, I *DO* hope people at least read the adventure.
I'm not sure how the logistics of this would even work, except spending a very suspicious amount of time in one's LGS...

I was speaking about reading the adventure, but not necessarily running it. I know I've read a ton more adventures than I've either run or played in, and while I would like to have the time to run/play many of those adventures, reading them was quite enjoyable too.
Reading an adventure is also a good way to know if running it would be fun. Anything else is speculation (however valid it might be). :)

Oh, I know! You were clear. My comment still stands. That's a lot of reading while standing in one's LGS...
(Unless, of course, you're actually suggesting one buy the book that one is not interested in, which is a terrible idea. There's a significantly higher probability that it will be a waste of money, as well as contributing to the skewing of sales figures and thus popularity [as Paizo employees have stated in the past that they look at sales as one measure of how popular certain products are]. A person not interested in the subject matter should absolutely avoid making such a purchase, lest they be saddled with more of that unpleasant material in the future. But I'm sure you're not actually suggesting that, given the above. Hence my logistics comment.)

Isn't there a difference between 'this wouldn't jive with my group' and 'I would not enjoy reading this'?
Also, plenty of us, especially subscribers, might by an AP volume for all of the other neat stuff (fiction, bestiary, setting info, etc.). Maybe we're part of the target audience for that post?
