Rob Schneider shopping around racy film...

Disney has backed out of distributing Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo after the movie landed an R rating.

Rob Schneider (who wrote the film along with David Garrett, and Jason Ward) is now shopping the movie around.

The new film will feature more racy footage. One joke that was sure to wave a flag to Disney is the joke involved one of the movie's characters, a woman who wears a veil all the time. She was in a car accident with her brother. Her brother died, but to save her, the doctor had to use some of her brother's body parts on her. Now, whenever Deuce touches her, her veil moves up. That means she doesn't have a nose under there, she has a, well, you get it.

Was Rob Schneider required to deliver a PG or PG-13 cut? Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo (the first one) was rated R.

BV would have dropped the movie not for the R rating but for the "veiled woman" character. Especially after a top US Army general was exposed this week as a Muslim-hating Christian fundamentalist.

That pig-dog! He should be given the same treatment as we give the Christian-hating Muslim fundamentalists amongst us!
