Kevin Smith's Banned-in-the-US 'Porno' Poster: Exclusive first look!

You know what's so special about this, the first poster for Kevin Smith's new flick, Zack and Miri Make a Porno (due out October 31st)? It's not that the one-sheet drops just before the movie's premiere at the Toronto Film Festival (which it does), or that Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks look so surprised, or that the chocolate-mint color scheme is making me a little hungry for Friendly's. No, it's that you'll only see this poster in Canada.

Even after winning an appeal to overturn Porno's NC-17 rating, Smith says the MPAA won't give their blessing to the image shown here—which is eyes-only for our neighbors to the north. "When you've got the word 'porno' in the title, naturally, the marketing materials are gonna be scrutinized more closely by the MPAA," says the director. "I understand they've got a job to do, but c'mon...this image isn't that dirty; they're both fully clad."

We can just add this to the long list of things we have Canada to thank for, like William Shatner, Michael J. Fox, and the fittingly monikered Peter North. "I've always loved Canada and Canadians for giving us hockey," says Smith. "Now, I love 'em just a little bit more. For allowing tufts of hair."

What's the big fucking deal, anyway.

I GETS IT. IT'S LIKE THEY ARE RECIEVING ORAL PLEASURE AND THAT'S A NO-NO IN THE STATES.

Spud Webb · 09-03-2008

That's hilarious.

**Mina** · 09-03-2008

Oh how ridiculous. Like children would know what that is. Its an implied sort of thing. This picture is so harmless. I think it's fine.

That's banned? Fuckin gay....I wanna buy it off of ebay now though.

**Kurbee** · 09-03-2008

I love it.

I think the "COMING SOON" line should've been spelt "CUMMING SOON". It's something Kevin Smith would do as a way of saying "FUCK YOU!" to the MPAA or something.

That would be great.

I see no harm in this, they are just nitpicking at it because they have nothing better to do.

That would been banned outright though, for a valid reason of being vulgar, whereas for the word porno it's just ridiculous.

Then again since supposedly there's no gigolos it's ok because making porn is different to WHORING YOURSELF OUT TO RANDOM PEOPLE!

Fucking dumbasses....
