Topic: xxx-rated Stooges?

Well ... I don't think Beanie Williams would help me much ...

Didn't he used to play centerfield for the Yankees?

BTW: My Neil Innes reference above was a result of trying to type a message here and another to a Bonzo Dog Band forum concurrently. Multitasking is apparently not my strong suit. (Tweed isn't either, but that's neither here nor there!)

Great -- now I've got mental images of such shenanigans as eye pokes with marital aids, "pie splat" sound effects accompanying other activities, and worse... 

Gives a whole new meaning to Moe's utterance in one of the Civil War-era shorts, "You just ejaculated a mouthful!"

Apparently, C3's issues with this porn parody do not extend to the genre.

From C3 Entertainment's website...

C3 Signs Killer Tees as New Licensee For Arrow Productions
C3 Press Release • Glendale, CA • June 1, 2012

C3 Entertainment, Inc., announced a new licensing agreement with Killer Tees for Arrow Productions classic adult titles, including Linda Lovelace® and Deep Throat®. C3 represents Arrow Productions Ltd., for worldwide licensing and merchandising.

... C3's Executive Vice President of Licensing & Consumer Products said 'While the Arrow titles, including the Linda Lovelace and Deep Throat brands, are mature adult fare, they represent mainstream adult pop culture. The classic vintage images from these great adult cinema features are more popular today than ever before. Killer Tees is a great licensee to have for this genre because of the quality products they produce and their ability to distribute to the specialty retail market both domestically and internationally.'

Continuing, she said 'This is the 40th year anniversary of the release of the original Deep Throat Movie, and later this year an all new major motion picture will be released entitled 'Lovelace', the story of Linda Lovelace featuring an all-star cast, including Amanda Seyfried and James Franco. The new film is sure to fire up more interest in Deep Throat, and even more interest in all the classic Arrow titles.'

... owner and operator of Killer Tees, says, 'Our new licensing agreement with C3 Entertainment for the Arrow Classics graphics is a natural fit to our existing products and presents a special opportunity to expand our edgy novelty Tee product line with future best-sellers. I'm really excited about the vintage adult cinema graphics that we will be offering.'

I will not post the video on this site since there is brief nudity, if nothing hardcore, but if you go to youtube and type "Three Stooges XXX," a trailer will be the first thing that shows up.

The trailer is funny, but this is an XXX film for sure.  Lets see if Curly Joe's stepsons can stop it.

The brainchild behind the porn parody, "Not the Three Stooges XXX" has been threatened by the guy behind the PG version that was released Friday -- to either put the brakes on the porn, or else.

Robert Benjamin, Executive VP and General Counsel of C3 Entertainment which produced the PG movie, fired off a letter -- obtained by TMZ --  to the lawyer for the triple X version, claiming the "low budget, clearly pornographic film" is not protected as a parody under the First Amendment.

But Michael Fattorosi,  the XXX lawyer fired his own letter back -- which we also got -- claiming the only way Benjamin could stop him is with a proper trademark, and Fattorosi says the only Three Stooges trademark Benjamin owns is for Three Stooges bottled beer.

But even more basic -- Fattorosi lectures Benjamin on the fact that a parody is protected
as free speech.

The PG movie came in second last weekend, pulling in $17 mil.

We'll see how the XXX version comes in.

Your information and links are from 9 months ago. 

C3 reached an agreement with the pornographer, and the video was released as scheduled.

Not that this beats the genuine article, obviously, but this version may be funnier than the mainstream release, at least based on the trailer.  The guy who plays Curly looks better than Sasso.  This film is obviously a novelty, but it doesn't pretend to be anything else.
