We guess that even just the word “porno” is enough to offend some folks, because Wal-Mart told Kevin Smith that if he wants to sell the DVD release of Zack and Miri Make a Porno at their stores, the word “porno” must be removed from the cover.
So, there’s no “porno” at Wal-Mart, but there are guns…and lots of Slutty Cyrus merchandise.
Kevin Smith, who’s faced a string of obstacles with his naughty-named flick, said, “I’m just so shocked that the word ‘porno’ meant that much to people in terms of, like, they found it insanely offensive and don’t want to see it on display.”
Smith complied, however, not without some concern for folks who might be misled by the new innocuous title.
Kevin admits that the film does “include nudity, vulgar content, and colourful language,” but has insisted that almost all of it is for the laughs, not the sexy times.
