KEVIN SMITH - MPAA YANKS POSTERS FOR KEVIN SMITH'S "PORNO" FILM

MPAA YANKS POSTERS FOR KEVIN SMITH'S "PORNO" FILM

The Motion Picture Association of America confirmed Wednesday that it has banned the poster for the new KEVIN SMITH film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno. The decision came after the MPAA had originally given the film an NC-17 rating but changed it to an R on appeal. The poster shows the two stars, SETH ROGEN and ELIZABETH BANKS in split images, fully clothed, with a tuft of hair at the bottom of the two pictures at about crotch level. "I understand [the MPAA] has got a job to do, but c'mon ... this image isn't that dirty; they're both fully clad" Smith told Entertainment Weekly. The movie is due to be shown this weekend at the Toronto Film Festival -- and the posters are on display throughout the city. Smith, who is on hand for the festival, commented, "I've always loved Canada and Canadians for giving us hockey. Now I love them just a little bit more -- for allowing tufts of hair."
