DTD in general has always had a little more leeway when it comes to defining 'appropriate', but the theater in particular has always been more mainstream than the rest of the resort. They show all sorts of films there, including ones rated R, so it makes sense that they would advertise those films as well. I don't think that the theater is in the wrong in any way by advertising for an upcoming film. However, it would not be the first time that a film has created a trashy ad campaign. I don't know anything about it, but given that it's called Bad Teacher, I can't expect much better from it. It just sort of sounds trashy, regardless of what the content is.

There is a huge difference between a company having a "risque" add campaign (which in this case would ultimately be Sony who has no connection to Disney) and Disney making a porn film...

Originally Posted By Mr X ***of course they can have a theater without sleazy posters*** Not if the company that runs the theaters puts those posters out in all their venues. Not quite sure what you mean by "outside lego", is that near the theater? Is it a space the theater uses for advertising regularly? If so, then there's absolutely nothing Disney can do about it, other than evict the movie theater.

Originally Posted By SpokkerJones "It is different seeing it inside Disney or outside on the drive through Anaheim." Downtown Disney is not really a Disney experience though. It's an outdoor mall and nothing more. "Disney used to have standards inside the park, no one expects them to set standards for Anaheim." Anaheim has less billboards than many cities in other counties. Try Los Angeles. Or take a drive on any of the freeways through Riverside and Bernardino Counties and you'll find plenty of billboards for strip clubs. That being said there I find beer ads on billboards far more offensive than a movie poster with some harmless sexual innuendo on it.

I'm guessing that if anybody complains, they'll see to it that the poster is taken down. Actually, can anybody confirm that the poster is still up? For all we know, somebody at Disney could have seen this thread and had the poster replaced already.
