It's still not as bad as the first poster where they made it look like he was getting a blowjob.

Alba probably won't get nude in this one, either, so why bother?

Is that a real one-sheet? Awful (as is the trailer.)

"You know how I know you're gay? You printed a movie poster with Dane Cook in his skivvies wrapped around a Safe-For-Al-Qaeda garbed Jessica Alba."

Well said Hallick. Any commentary on this one Wells? It was pretty obvious to anyone savvy. Those of us with memory and a sense of appropriateness actually cringed. I can only hope we all see a picture taken the day before Dane Cook is assassinated, and soon.

Why give this movie free time? Will you be explaining road signs next?

Thank Christ they at least managed to keep Dane Cook's underwear on.

Dane Cook only wishes his body actually looked like that.

Much better (and less a rip-off) is the poster of Jesica Alba taking a quick, contemplative break from fellating an ice cream cone.

I'm sure it's a piece of shit, but I have a sad feeling that it will do very, very well. Soul-raping or not, it's a great print ad campaign.

bmc: Nah, Alba's box office poison. The few hits she's been in haven't been due to her presence.

Man, for a moment there I thought that was Dennis Quaid. Thankfully it ain't.
If I were Yoko Ono, I'd be crying foul. As if either Alba or Cook can even begin to hold a candle to the spirit of the original Rolling Stone pic.

Dennis Quaid is a good guess.
I thought it looked like Scott Bakula.
I don't even know who Dane Cook is (though I've heard the name)

The poster is stupid since, I'm guessing, most Alba/Cook fans wouldn't get the reference. Also, more obviously, it's just a bastardization of a wonderful Leibovitz pic...

Bill Hicks gets cancer and dies.

Dane Cook lives on and pumps out streams of stupid jokes, movies, shows and shit.

Is God humorless?

This really may be the lamest thing Hollywood has ever done.

1) Steals and cheapens a famous image everyone will recognize
2) Wusses out by putting safe-for-mall-multiplexes-underoos on the guy
3) Worst photoshopping of obviously-shot-elsewhere heads onto obviously not-their-real-bodies in history
4) Alba's expression looks like she died of an overdose five minutes ago
5) Cook's expression makes him look like Bill Paxton
6) Everyone involved needs to die, die, die

Really, this is just the most contemptibly lameass godawful thing I've seen in six centuries of walking the earth undead.
