Peter Reynolds said Over on AVN:
Peter Reynolds said he stands by the title and denies all implications of racism.
"First of all, I think it's a parody, and the name is totally innocent," Reynolds told AVN. "The whole thing is supposed to be humorous, and we should all not take ourselves so seriously. We're getting a lot of pre-orders, so it's obviously resonating with the buyers out there, and that's making me happy."
Some might wonder if Mullen himself sent the initial e-mail to Mike South in order to drum up publicity for his movie. But the producer insists he did no such thing.
Now he didn't send that to ME but ...
Common Sense Writes:
par·o·dy [par-uh-dee] -noun
1.a humorous or satirical imitation of a serious piece of literature or writing: his hilarious parody of Hamlet's soliloquy.
2. the genre of literary composition represented by such imitations.
3 .a burlesque imitation of a musical composition.
4.any humorous, satirical, or burlesque imitation, as of a person, event, etc.

-verb (used with object)
7. to imitate (a composition, author, etc.) for purposes of ridicule or satire.
8. to imitate poorly or feebly; travesty.
For Reynolds to say this is a parody is complete idiocy. Pulp Friction was a parody, as was Lady Scarface and Britney Rears. I like definition 8. He's closer to a parody by definition. He imitates a literate professional poorly or feebly and the only travesty is that he still has a job. Too bad that earthquake we had here didn't shake some sense into Adam & Eve canning this clown.
Apparently my original writer is not alone in his views, he has written me again but doesn't wish to make any further comment because there is a lot of speculation about who A. Nigger is and it isn't to pat him on the back, more like shoot him there.
Personally I found it rather humorous that the reference to "Blackzilla" was made yet not one reference was made to a title that would indicate that Black men are something other than animals or monsters.
It's good that this issue has come to light, maybe Phil Harvey wasn't aware that he was putting his name on this.
