As if this movie hasnt faced enough problems now people are refusing to run ad’s for it because of the word “Porno” in the title. This is completely ridiculous! I think the general public just has some type of agenda with Kevin Smith and it really makes no sense. If you dont like his movies, dont go see them but dont try and make it so other people dont know about the damn movie!

The city of Philadelphia refused “Zack and Miri” posters at bus stops. Similar posters at Boston bus stops have drawn complaints from a child-development expert who said they are inappropriate for children.

Smith found it ironic that the posters have been a problem. Some playfully risque ads with images of “Zack and Miri” stars Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks were forbidden by the Motion Picture Association of America, which called the ads “highly sexually suggestive and not suitable for general audiences.”

So Weinstein came up with posters using stick figures to represent the actors.

“The whole idea was, our hands were so tied on all previous entries we’d given them that this ad was meant to be the innocuous one that would get approved everywhere,” Smith said.

Rina Cutler, Philadelphia deputy mayor for transportation, said the stick-figure posters were cute and clever but unacceptable for bus shelters where schoolchildren would see the word “porno.”

“If they want to call the movie `Zack and Miri,’ that’s fine, but Zack and Miri cannot make a porno on my bus shelters,” Cutler said.

I honestly just dont understand how people can be so freakin closed minded about this stuff. I doubt that children will start walking up to it asking what the movie is just because it has stick figures. If this is all a problem maybe they should just shorten it to ‘Zack and Miri’?
