If you're trying to promote a popular television series about marijuana called Weeds,
it's highly likely your promotional clothing will probably have a pot leaf or two on it. I think a picture of a man
eating Cheetos and laughing at his shoe would be more realistic, but whatever works. Anyway, the producers of the
aforementioned series ran into some trouble in Cannes recently when several promotional shirts and caps with pot leaves
on them were confiscated by French officials who claim the garments encouraged drug use. They've asked Lionsgate, who
produces the series, to provide a script, a copy of an episode, and a letter stating the clothes do not encourage drug
use. Showtime will then be sent to bed without supper to think about what it's done.Showtime promotional material confiscated by French
