Smith's original poster art for the film was banned and replaced with stick figures to represent the actors.
Now, fifteen newspapers along with several TV stations and cable channels are refusing to carry ads for the film--because of the word 'Porno' in the title
According to G4TV Ads for the film during last night's Phillies Dodgers games on FOX were dropped at the team's request after some viewers complained.
Also the city of Philadelphia has said No to posters at bus stops while posters in Boston have drawn complaints as well.
How ridiculous is this...? The network that gave us "Melrose Place" and "Married with Children" let teams dictate ads...I know the league wants to maintain a family friendly image...But other non kid rated previews ran like The Haunting of Molly Hartley... Children her about sex tapes of celebs all the time and there's an uproar over an ad for a rated R flick--
***CONGTATS TO THE PHILLIES ON MAKING IT TO THE WORLD SERIES!! GOOD LUCK!!!
