<p>ABC, bastion of decency, has refused to air an ad for The Weinstein Company's <em>Our Idiot Brother</em>. <!--more-->The ad depicts discussion of drug use as well as a depiction of urination using a juicebox. This is far less scandalous than <a href="http://www.nypost.com/p/pagesix/movie_goers_get_bonus_view_drgSu5ZSxw4go1oYhNmSUP">the scene at the film's rooftop Cinema Society screening</a> (during which the film's stars in attendance reportedly watched nude hotel guests at the nearby Yotel) as well as ABC's own <em>Bachelor Pad</em>.</p>

<p>At least, <a href="http://cdn.videogum.com/files/2011/08/Picture-2.png">as spotted by Videogum</a>, there's one press outlet that won't shy away at all from promoting <em>Our Idiot Brother</em>.</p>
