A new Kevin Smith movie "Zach and Mira Make a Porno" has a title so controversial, they're having trouble getting their advertisements out. It's a great example of industry regulation as opposed to government regulation.
Unfortunately, when they tried to sanatize the ads by using stick figures, they were accused to creating ads appealing to children...
I wonder if this is setting the precident for use of the word "porno" or if there is other recent precident. Obviously this is a matter of time/culture too. Even 20 years ago, I doubt the word would have even made it in a title for a legitimate mainstream release.
On a side note...I think the class blog will get a lot more random hits on google searches now. Do we get extra credit for bringing more readers to the blog?
