The National Film Board of Thailand just banned Kevin Smith’s latest R-rated motion picture Zack And Miri Make A Porno out of fear it may encourage copycats. Whether these potential copycats would make their own pornographic films to help pay the electrical bills or make their own films about people making pornographic films to help pay the electrical bills is unclear, but apparently, either would be inversely proportional to both the morality and overall health of the nation probably best known for casually tolerating child molestation and Ben Affleck gambling (opens in new tab) on Russian Roulette. Hooray for fighting the issues that really matter.
According to View Askew , the film’s distributors, M Pictures, appealed the ruling, but the outback Nazi appellate court upheld the decision after watching the film. I guess the censorship police didn’t feel Jason Mewes’ dick was suitable for anyone in Thailand. I’d probably be a little more miffed, but this in no way effects my life or Kevin Smith’s ability to make more of his trademark raunchy, heart-filled swear romps. It’s just a big middle finger toward Free Speech in the world’s twentieth most populous nation.
In case you were wondering, Thailand just had its international credit score lowered last week and is less than three years removed from its most recent coup. But it’s kept one more perceived piece of filth out of its theaters, and in the end, that seems like all Buddha ever really wanted.
Enthusiastic about Clue, case-of-the-week mysteries, the NBA and cookies at Disney World. Less enthusiastic about the pricing structure of cable, loud noises and Tuesdays.

Unjustified genitals, graphic gorillas and every Claire Danes movie ever.
Different countries have different rules when it comes to censorship, and what's considered graphic, offensive or dangerous can vary from culture to culture over time. It can also be completely nuts.
Here are seven examples of the latter – the times when movies were banned for totally bizarro reasons.
1. Zack and Miri Make a Porno , Thailand – for fear of copy-cat pornos
Kevin Smith's comedy about platonic mates Seth Rogen and Elizabeth Banks, who decide to make a skin flick to solve their cash flow problems, wasn't banned for being too pervy. It's not that pervy. Instead it was banned for the potential persuasiveness of its perviness. Basically, the Thai film board was afraid other hard-up youngsters would be tempted to follow in Zack and Miri's footsteps and make their own home-grown porn.
2. Bruno , Ukraine – for unjustified genitals
Ukraine probably wasn't the target audience for Sacha Baron-Cohen's flamboyant gay Austrian creation – just as well since they didn't see the joke at all. The movie was banned for a number of reasons including:
"Unjustified showing of genital organs."
"Homosexual perversions in an explicitly realist manner."
"Homosexual acts in a blatantly graphic form, obscene language, sadism, anti-social behaviour."
3. 2012 , North Korea – for being mean about the year 2012
2012 was meant to be a really lucky year for North Korea. It marked 100 years since the birth of former leader Kim Il-sung, and according to then-leader Kim Jong-il it would be the year that would "open the grand gates to becoming a rising superpower". So he didn't want no Roland Emmerich movie messing that up by suggesting the world would be wiped out by a bunch of natural disasters that year. So much so that those trying to watch pirated copies would be arrested. And the movie REALLY wasn't worth that.
4. E.T: The Extra Terrestrial , Sweden – for making adults look like dicks.
Okay not banned as such, but restricted for under-11s, who are exactly the people E.T. was presumably aimed at. The Swedish film board did this for the reason that all the grown-up characters are cold, antagonistic gits. The film board said it portrayed " adults as enemies of children ". Which it kind of does.
5. King Kong , Finland – for being too graphic about gorillas.
So this was 1933, and the effects for the time we pretty rad. But was anyone really shocked by King Kong and his man-eating, lady-stealing ways? Yes: the Finnish, apparently, who banned the movie on its initial release. Six years later they changed their minds. It's just a big ape, guys.
6. Zoolander , Iran – for being too gay
Iran has a strict policy of banning anything which promotes gay rights or depicts homosexuality, and Ben Stiller's catwalk comedy was just too too much for their sensibilities. Even though it's not actually explicitly gay.
7. Every Claire Danes movie ever, The Philippines – for calling the country smelly and weird
In 1999 Claire Danes starred in a movie called Brokedown Palace about two women in Thailand who are sent to jail when they're caught smuggling. Though set in Thailand, the movie was actually shot in the Philippines, which at the time, Danes didn't warm to.
So much so that in an interview with Vogue , Danes said Manila was "ghastly and weird", and in Premiere magazine that it "smelled of cockroaches, with rats all over, and that there is no sewerage system, and the people do not have anything – no arms, no legs, no eyes."
The President of the Philippines got involved, saying they would ban all her movies until she issued an apology. She did but in a sort of "sorry, not sorry" way, saying:
"Because of the subject matter of our film Brokedown Palace, the cast was exposed to the darker and more impoverished places of Manila. My comments in Premiere magazine only reflect those locations, not my attitude towards the Filipino people. They were nothing but warm, friendly, and supportive."
Her apology was not accepted, and as far as we know she is still persona non grata .

7. Zack And Miri Make A Porno Banned In Asia For Fear Of Copycat Teens (Oh And In Utah Too) Lets face it, Kevin Smith is well past his prime. I've never been a huge fan of his but even I can tell that with every new release, he is fading faster than knock-off Chinese firework. But like the trooper he is, he keeps trying and his 2008 ''comedy,'' Zack and Miri Make a Porno, was released to a fanfare of mixed to average reviews. But that didn't stop it from falling foul off the censors. In the film, long-time friends and roommates Zack (Seth Rogen) and Miri (Elizabeth Banks) do what many have been resorted to doing in the post credit crunch world when they can't pay the bills and that is turn to porn. In order to make money, they decided to make a dirty home video but this being a Kevin Smith rom-com, they fall in love and that solves all their issues. Had they done their research, they would have found out that it is actually quite hard to make money from one amateur porno and the best thing would have been to set up a website. But in Trinidad and Tobago, Malaysia and Thailand, it was banned because authorities were worried that teens may watch the film and decide to copy the antics of Rogen and Banks. Clearly they have yet to find out that teens are doing a lot worse on the internet, just click the 'Amateur' tab. But before you start thinking that only happens in lands far away, the American state of Utah also banned it for the same reasons.
