Submitted by HollywoodChicago.com on October 15, 2008 - 1:11pm.

AP just wrote a very interesting story about “Zack and Miri Make a Porno” regarding the film and especially its title.

Zack and Miri Make a Porno

There have been many porn-related movies that have gone mainstream throughout the years. Here’s one quote from the article:

“It’s a comedy. It’s a joke. We’re not advertising a porno. It’s not a porno. The word ‘porno’ [isn’t] supposed to turn you on. It’s supposed to make you laugh.”
