WTF? Of course, THINK would've thunk it.
In the Reporter, Gregg Goldstein swears there's a topper to The Aristocrats: "The F-word is the word on everyone's lips in a documentary [with] an all-star lineup including crooner Pat Boone and newsman Sam Donaldson, rapper Ice-T and porn star Ron Jeremy. 
Independent distributor ThinkFilm has nabbed worldwide rights to director Steve Anderson's [FUCK, which] presents some obvious marketing challenges, "It's an invitation to cleverness," said Mark Urman, head of the theatrical division at ThinkFilm. "It's become clear to us who can print what, but here the entire title is an expletive, and it's going to be interesting to see how we'll get away with it." ThinkFilm has tentative plans to release the film in limited engagements in the fall, and will send it out unrated because "it's more consistent with the spirit of the film," said Urman. From THINKfilm's PR: “Steve has made a wonderfully clever, informative, and energetic film and we are not only excited to be releasing it,” says Urman, “we are thrilled to be among the few companies who CAN! Everything about the way we advertise, publicize and even discuss this film requires us to be thoughtful, original, and fresh, and for an independent distributor, there is no greater gift.”
