The title of Kevin Smith's recently announced project is the focus of a bit of nonsensical controversy similar to that of the experience his last film, Zack and Miri Make a Porno had on its journey to DVD shelves.

When Variety announced Kevin Smith's involvement in the film title A Couple of Dicks with Bruce Willis and Tracy Morgan set to star, they included a bit of disconcerting information. Apparently the hailed script is now being titled A Couple of Cops getting rid of any hilarity that comes from the title.

This censorship and pandering to over sensitive conservatives is, dare I say, complete bullshit. Including the phrase "Make a Porno" on a DVD is absolutely going to ruin children's lives and turn them into nothing but unwholesome little heathens. And now this clever double entendre which is merely a reference to a word that meant detective in a time much more conservative than now will never be used.

It just pains me to see such ludicrous precautions taken with creative properties that might hurt the oh so fragile eyes, ears and thoughts of our apparently innocent children who certainly don't have the ability to see far more offensive content right here on the Internet. Why didn't they call Sex and the City: The Movie by the less vulgar nomenclature Intercourse and the City or Be Careful Because These Women Are Gross? Bullshit.

UPDATE: On the View Askiewniverse message boards Kevin Smith acknowledged that A Couple of Cops is only a temporary title. Still...the title was great to begin with.
