The Rules of Attraction
USA

 

 

There is no centralized advertising standard authority in the United States issuing adjudications on issues of taste and decency for print advertising. Instead there are separate industry organization that publish advertising codes of standard the adherence to which is voluntary.
The use of stuffed animals for any product not marketed to children is generally discouraged.
Consequently, the original poster for Roger Avary’s 2002 film Rules of Attraction depicting copulating toys was considered offensive and obscene and was banned in the United States.
In Great Britain and Canada the use of the poster was allowed.
