Johan Kaos’s new film ‘Pornopung’, which incidentally is
Norwegian slang for shaven balls, was available to download from The Pirate Bay
and those that downloaded it were treated to 10 minutes of the film before the
camera switched to Kaos.
The director told Norwegian website Aftenposten.no, “I
thought the movie was going to end up on The Pirate Bay sooner or later anyway,
so why not be a little ahead?”
The clip that was originally meant to be 80 minutes of his
arse, but Kaos decided that the viewers deserved something more pleasing on the
eye.
“I created a clean-shaven scrotum,” Kaos added to the
website. “A little more thematically relevant and easily more aesthetically
pleasing, it seems, at least in my opinion.”
Despite all of this though, Kaos has said that he holds no
grudges towards those who use File-share websites and that it is taken as
compliment that people want to see his films.
The reaction to the prank has mostly been received positively,
although some have reacted in a rather pissed off fashion. Kaos’ reply? “They
certainly can’t accuse me of having given them something they didn’t ask for,
when they download a movie called Pornopung.”
So, next time you decide to download a foreign film make
sure to check if the title of the movie doesn’t have a hidden genital meaning.
