New poster too suggestive or just fine?

A new poster has debuted for the film. You can check it out below or by visiting the movie's main page. With this new poster came a new round of troubles for the film with the MPAA. It first had to battle to get a R rating versus the NC-17 it was originally stamped. This time the MPAA is claiming that the poster is too suggestive for the general public and should not be allowed.
I'm all for pushing borders and boundaries that are set (especially those created by the MPAA). I think the poster uses innuendo well enough so that you get a kick out of it. If you're not of the maturity to understand it though, I don't think you'll understand that something dirty is being shown. Maybe you won't even catch "coming soon" as being any different than the standard poster.
So, I'm calling out to you, out of curiosity to see if the general public agrees with the MPAA. Is the new poster too suggestive or is it just fine (and maybe you actually enjoy it)? Why or why not?

I think if you have a problem with the word porno, you shouldn't watch the news, or any tv for that matter because it is all over the place... deal.
I think they're objecting to the heads at crotch level more than the word "porno".
dont feel bad it took me awhile to notice to
I guess I should have read the explanation... whatever, I think the heads are hilarious.
I think that most people who understand what the poster is "suggesting" with the heads at the bottom will get a kick out of it. And it's so subtle that most people won't even notice. I don't think most kids would have a clue. Obviously, it's a movie for adults. Do we take knives off of the posters of horror movies? Guns off the posters of war movies? No. It's just that sex is a topic that parents tend to not want to talk to their kids about, so they'll complain about silly things like movie posters just to avoid an uncomfortable discussion.
Sorry... that may have been a bit long-winded! :-)

Hey I am all for the Adult world / Kid world thing... And this is one of those area's... Anyone that actually gets the joke on this poster is old enough for it...
It took me awhile before i noticed the top of the two heads. I didnt look below the title of the film.
That seems about right.
The heads... haha that is funny, I don't even notice.
I just figured out that this is trish
It's hilarious =)
just fine, i didn't notice till i scrolled down but it fits the theme.
They decided to go with this tongue in cheek poster for the U.S. to let the MPAA know their displeasure in the ban.

Didn't even notice the heads or the 'Coming Soon' until you mentioned it here :-)
Yeah it took me a while to get the heads on the bottom. Umm, sure but I wouldn't bring my little brother to see it!
LOL, I don't think it's bad at all.
