The New Poster For Zack And Miri Is Kind Of Passive-Aggressive
After the first poster for Zack And Miri Make A Porno was unfairly banned for US audiences by the MPAA, Kevin Smith et. al. have come up with an unusual replacement. Rather than make another real poster or use one of the alternative posters that were surely created by studio designers, they're capitalizing on the censorship as some sort of proof that the movie is "titillating." Full poster after the jump.
On the one hand, "titillating" does have the word "tit" in it, so congrats on getting that one by, but on the other this is kind of the taking your ball and going home of movie poster design. (Via /Film.)

Also, nice move not mentioning that Kevin Smith actually made the movie, not Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks. Are they trying to pretend it's actually porn that somehow slipped by studio executives? Which raises the further question: do they think people actually want to see Seth Rogan in porn?
