13 Shocking Movie Posters That Were Banned

2. Zack And Miri Make A Porno

Not content with cutting the title of Kevin Smith's delightful bongo rom com to remove the "Make a Porno" because nobody should be allowed to even see the WORD " porno" in case their mortal souls are eternally condemned to Hell, the MPAA also said no to this funny little poster that is significantly more harmless than any poster with a gun on.

It's actually a laughably tame poster and there's nothing even remotely sexually offensive or explicit about it. Crucially, if it was banned to preserve kids from the message, that was entirely over-zealous since nobody not already clued in on oral past-times would even get the joke. The cheeky look on Elizabeth Banks' face says everything you need to know, but the MPAA went ultra-prudish on it (perhaps because of the title) and the poster was doomed.

You know, despite a poster for Good Luck Chuck doing the EXACT same thing and getting past censors.
