What is a Jackbutt?
This is too funny. A theater in Orange City, Iowa, got complaints over its marquee advertising "Jackass Number Two" starring gay-friendly personality Johny Knoxville. Their solution? Check out this pic:
Gee, Orange City sounds like a REAL fun place to visit. Just don't make a jackbutt of yourself while in town!

Censorship? Take a second look...
So, it seems my lovely little town of Orange City, Iowa, is making national (and international) news with the movie Jackass 2. Apparently it was even on ET and the Leno show. Wow, Orange City.
At first glance, this would look to be censorship. And, considering this is northwestern Iowa and we are pretty conservative, it would sort of make sense.
Only that's not what happened.
Turns out the theatre ran out of S's for the marquee (We've got Open Season, School for Scoundrels, Little Miss Sunshine, the Illusionist...). The high school student putting up the names realized that he was out of S's, so he decided to put Jackbutt, and the manager didn't care, because there really wasn't anything they could do about running out of S's.
So, think what you will of Orange City - we are overly conservative, but not quite that conservative.
