My colleague Dominic Patten yesterday revealed how Universal sent lawyers to invoke coitus interruptus by halting production of Fifty Shades Of Grey: A XXX Adaptation. Aside from blatant copyright infringement, I think those porn producers have also disgraced a proud hardcore sex film industry tradition of coining clever titles from real movies and TV shows. According to the 10 seconds I spent researching this on Google, those classics apparently have included: Splendor in the Ass, Throbbin' Hood, Ball The President's Men, Hung Wankenstein, Das Booty, Enema of the State, In Diana Jones and the Temple of Poon, The Rodfather, Add Momma to the Train, Star Whores, Schindler's Fist and E.T.: The Extra-Testicle. Not to be outdone, XXX classics inspired by TV shows include Beverly Hills 9021-Ho and Dawson's Crack. C'mon guys, how about spending 10 seconds to come up with something that is not only laugh-worthy, but gets you out of the lawsuit cross-hairs and into the free speech protected preserve of parody?
