One complaint came from a man watching a game in September with his young son, who did not understand a suicide-squeeze bunt the Dodgers tried, Rawitch said.
“He was explaining to his son what a squeeze bunt was. Commercial break, the ad comes on, and the kid asks, `Dad, what does porno mean?”‘ Rawitch said. “Dodgers baseball has always been about family, and we’ve always been sensitive to the type of advertising that runs on our games.”
Thank you to the staff of the Associated Press, for so clearly illustrating why ads for Zack and Miri Make a Porno have been pulled from newspapers, network and cable spots around the country.
What about when this kid’s like “Dad, what’s suicide?”
Then do we ban baseball?
They should’ve named the movie “Zack Finally Gets Passed 3rd Base and SCORES!!!”…
Then everything’s good for him and his retarded kid.
funny, TSS.
How about, “Zack Gets a Squeeze Bunt”?
What?? I am confused. So a little boy commited suicide at a Dodger’s game becuase his dad caught him making a p*rno about squeezing bunt cakes?? Hmmmpf, I blame advertising.
That’s awesome. Big baby. Maybe he should lock his kid in the basement if he doesn’t want him to know what a porno is.
I feel like we shield kids too much these days.
My cousin found out what sex was at 7. Now, I’m not saying this is for everyone but at least she didn’t have to be confused and find out wrong secondhand information. She got the facts.
You say it’s a type of movie and move on. Once he gets to second grade some kid on the playground will have told him all about pornos and sex.
i knew what sex was at like 3, my theory is the earlier is sometimes the better. you dont want your 15 year old kid coming home from school going ”whats that thing everyones talking about and doing?”
Ok, so the AP article goes on and on about how the posters were too bad for bus shelters because of the word ‘porno’, but yet, they have no problems posting posters for horror flicks with disturbing pictures of nastiness. I.Don’t.Get.It.
I agree, just call it a type of movie and move on. I’d rather deal with sex than violence. And honestly, what is so bad about that movie poster? I guess I’m just thick, but I had to really study the picture for awhile before I got it. Maybe because neither of them has an expression on their face that I have ever seen (or made) in conjunction with oral sex.
> yet, they have no problems posting posters for horror flicks with disturbing pictures of nastiness. I.Don’t.Get.It.
America is fed a diet of violence so you have a stomach for the crimes of your soldiers on foreign soil.
Christians don’t mind if someone’s head gets blown off with an assault rifle approved by the NRA but you will suffer God’s wrath if a little titty is exposed. Women and their bodies are evil, dontchya know by golly.
omg the parent is a loser.
Wow. Awesome point.
Seth is a talented guy and I’ve seen all his movies. But that is an unfortunate name for the movie and will lose out on a lot of good advertising. I’ll still go and see it though.
i wanna make a porno with seth rogen.
