Zack and Miri Make a Statement

Not a review just something I found particularly hillarious. So a week or so ago Kevin Smith released a poster for his new movie Zack and Miri Make a Porno which was immediatley banned in the US by the MPAA, here's the poster in question.




Nothing too racy, sure there are heads at the bottom of the poster doing something that may or may not be indecent but hey... at least they have their clothes on unlike the not banned poster for Good Luck Chuck which featured an apparently nude Dane Cook with the top of a girls head in the danger zone. I guess they figured that flick was going to suffer enough and gave it a pass. Anyway, Smith released a new poster the other day which is decidedly less racy and knowing the story behind it is much more funny. Here's the new 'Americanized' teaser poster.




And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I love Kevin Smith. A big F U to the MPAA for banning his poster and in a hillarious way. The best part is that all the stiffs at the MPAA did by banning the poster is make it a news story and vastly more popular. Thanks to the internet more people saw this poster than they would have before. Score one for the Clerks guy!
