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."
