The MPAA rejected the original poster for the new documentary The Road to Guantánamo, ostensibly because it depicts torture
WaPo makes the good point that according to the Bush administration, “hooding” is not torture. And according to the MPAA, dismemberment, suggested frontal nudity, and Rob Schneider with an animated phallus are A-OK. So the logical conclusion here is that Guantánamo’s poster was rejected because it depicted something real. Wouldn’t want the public to have to see that! #
