Since Tuesday, Hancock has grossed over $40 million domestically and is on track to stack $100 million plus by wke's end. While early word from critics and geeks is decidedly mixed, that's a lot of moolah for Will Smith, director Peter Berg (his first major hit), and Sony. How puzzling then that Nikke Finke says…

We we launched the LOL feature, we never thought it would degrade into dick and fart jokes. But so far we’ve posted two defaced Happening billboards which were transformed into “The CRAPening” and “The Penis”.
