15 Movies Banned Overseas For Ridiculous Reasons
7. Kevin Smith Might Influence Horny Teens - Zack & Miri Make A Porno
The Reason: Teenagers might try to mimic the central characters' attempt to make their own porn movie (Thailand and Trinidad).
Newsflash: teenagers have been filming themselves having sex ever since recording equipment has existed, and they sure don't need Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks to encourage them to do it.
While placing age restrictions on a film to protect younger viewers from "impressionable behaviour" is a common tactic in most countries, that apparently wasn't enough for Thailand and Trinidad, who banned the film outright.
It's especially bizarre as the movie is actually a pretty sweet and warm-hearted, sex-positive romantic comedy. One suspects the censors just saw the title and quickly passed their judgement without actually watching the film.
