Here’s One Way to Get Publicity for Your Movie

This was kind of a win/win situation for the producers of Zack and Miri Make a Porno.

Scenario 1: The MPAA approves this promo poster, and everybody writes about it.
Scenario 2: The MPAA does not approve this promo poster, and everybody writes about it.

“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, Kevin Smith. “I understand they’ve got a job to do, but c’mon…this image isn’t that dirty; they’re both fully clad.”

The poster was, however, approved for use in Canada.

“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.”

Oh, and just so you don’t have to tear your hair out trying to figure out where you’ve seen Elizabeth Banks — besides in a Kevin Smith flick — she played that doctor chick that Zach Braff knocked up on Scrubs.

  • YOU READ MY MIND!!! I was just about to google her. I am a huge scrubs fan and was like “What does she play on!!??”

  • and she was awesome in wet hot american summer AND she’s gonna play laura bush in W
    god, I love them both

  • I loved her in The 40 Year Old Virgin. Such a tramp. Seth Rogen, my dear heart. Either he’s getting fatter or his fro just makes it look that way… I mean, I’d still hit it… twice. But you know. :)

    I don’t think that the poster should be banned… it’s hardly ever noticeable. I don’t think that my ten year old cousin is going to be like, OMG WHAT ARE THOSE HEADS DOING RIGHT THERE!!

    I’ll tell her — those are just long pubes. No worries.

  • yeah she is the freak in 40 year old virgin…and they “hook” up that movie too…. on the otherhand…. amazing poster.. love it

  • This dude Rogen must have some special brand of humour that can only be detected by people born in Northern America, the rest of us (the world) really just don’t get it.

  • This poster totally looks like a parody of the promo poster for Brown Bunny, that movie where Chloe Sevigny gives Vincent Gallo head. And that poster was waaaaay more obvious.

  • Funny you should have said that at the end, literally the first thing i thought when i saw this post was ‘Hey! Isn’t she JDs baby moma on scrubs? well she looks like her!’ :)
