Might not want to scroll down further if you're at work or school, as a warning. 

SHAME's been a controversial film ever since its first public screening at the Venice International Film Festival last year, when people first saw Michael Fassbender and Carey Mulligan both appear fully nude as sex-addicted siblings. Fox Searchlight picked up the film and decided to release it as-is, which earned them an NC-17 from the MPAA, and they managed to turn it into a success despite the rating. 

Indeed the film has been loved by nearly everyone who has seen it and when people talk about Oscar snubs, Fassbender's name is one of the first to come up. The sexual nature of the film will always make it controversial, though, but the people behind the film don't really mind.

Case in point, Fox Searchlight has just released the below poster which Hungary decided was too much for them, and they've refused to release it. Usually I'm all against censorship but in this case- I can see their point. I mean, it's less subtle than that poster for HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2!

I'm definitely against censorship, but I'd LOL at seeing this poster at my local cineplex. It looks more fitting for an adult video store, and I imagine that's exactly what the designers were going for. Kudos for being shameless in their technique. (pun intended)

Wow....it looks like Fassbender has some more tricks up his sleeve other than being a ridiculously great actor.

Damn, I was a little slow on getting this one. I was like "what's the big deal?" until I scrolled down and read everyone's comments. Then I was like "Oooohhh." I thought it was shampoo or something. I think I was too focused on trying to figure out the background. Was I looking at a back or a front? I still don't think it's that bad.

so unless it's a scene in the movie where he blows his load, seems to be just for shock value.

Ha! Okay, censorship wins this time. Just this time. Then again, this looks like something that would have been designed by a sex-addict. Just saying.

So I'm guessing after the other 2 creative and subtle posters the graphic designers just went "fuck it!"

Points for creativity. Have to love a movie that truly embraces what it is.

Look at it this way. It could be worse. Could be on the face or chin of some chick. Now that would make even the mpaa balk a little.
