This stuff with the MPAA is a far cry from censorship, and the pull quotes from me were merely from a response post to a question on our message board about why the teaser disappeared. http://viewaskew.com/theboard/viewtopic.php?p=3008733#3008733 This wasn't a marketing scheme; I was just used to putting teasers online without rating them. I now know better. End of story. Tempest in a teapot, folks.

Is the MPAA saying that ANY VIDEO Smith puts on his website promoting Zack and Miri must be subject to their approval??? Because I can tell you, the answer according to them is YES. And ain't nobody following that shit. No-body. I think Smith has been mislead. His trailer doesn't contain footage from the movie? Call it a "bonus video" and not a trailer. Does that then mean the MPAA will still say they must review it? Something about this story doesn't add up. Maybe a reporter will pick up the story because I'd like to find out the answers.

They're pretty much a money hole at this point and just a hinderance to the editing process.

I did not think that the MPAA had domain over what is on the internet, but I guess since its related to a movie they do. But it seems like all the meddling they do is not really helpful. Its up to parents and adults to make sure there kids don't watch Kevin's dirty trailers. Yeah Kevin! There are a lot of internet sites that have much worst things than Kevin’s trailer had.
