The Hangover was one of the funniest movies ever made and definitely one of the best "Vegas movies" of all time. Now the trailer for the sequel, The Hangover 2, has run into some problems. In fact, the raunchy ad has been pulled from theaters because of problems with the Motion Picture Association of America and a few pissed-off parents.Apparently the biggest problem involves a scene where a Bangkok monkey begins to perform an "adult act" on a water bottle. That's bad enough (and just hilarious!) but then Alan says:
"When a monkey nibbles on a weenus, it's funny in any language."
The trailer also involves large amounts of pig blood, bad words, and Mr. Chow. Awesome, but we can understand why some parents wouldn't want little Timmy to see it.
According to Warner Bros:
"In our haste to meet the placement schedule for this trailer, we failed to properly vet the final version with the MPAA... We acted immediately to correct the mistake and removed the trailer from screens."Yeah right, we're sure it was a mistake. Because of this little "mistake" the interwebs are all abuzz about the new movie. It's called free publicity.... lots and LOTS of free publicity. Plus, we would be kind of disappointed if the first official trailer didn't have stuff that pissed off a large percentage of the audience...
