No ‘Porno’ On SEPTA

I didn’ t know this because I’m not in high school anymore¹, but apparently Kevin Smith has a new movie coming out! It’s called Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and that last word is upsetting people who had nothing better to do.

Even in this time of economic crisis, newspapers, transit agencies and billboard companies across this fair country have rejected ads for Zack and Miri Make a Porno because of the word porno. And Philadelphia? Oh you better believe Philadelphia is in on this game:

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.

Crap. There goes my cash-generating idea, Busty Bus Stop Vixens. Back to the drawing board.

¹ I did like Clerks 2, though.

SEPTA, Kevin Smith, Porn, Sex, WTF

Mr. Stiffler Says: Oct 15 2:53 PM

Heh. I got to walk by a huge poster for the movie “MR. WOODCOCK” every day for a month or two at the bust stop on Market Street right in front of City Hall! Somehow, that poster (http://www.impawards.com/2007/posters/mr_woodcock.jpg) was “acceptable”!
