A movie theater owner in Iowa got squeamish, or had complaints or something, and changed the name of Jackass Number Two to "Jackbutt Two" on the marquee. An alert passerby snapped a photo which her cousin posted on Flickr where you can check it out. If anything, "Jackbutt" sounds much nastier -- downright skanky even. I don't know why they didn't go with "Jackposterior" or "Jackrearend" -- too many letters maybe. There will probably never be a movie of the CBS sitcom The Class, which is fortunate, because what could they call it at this theater? "The Cl-butt" just makes no sense at all.

It's sad/funny that these people are so uptight that they don't even realize that a jackass is a male donkey and not a sexual reference at all. Idiots! Wait, it's not funny, just sad that Americans don't read books.

I am from the town of Orange City and I am friends with the worker who did this. Nobody complained about it, he just did it as a joke.

hey everyone, its hilarious. i know. i go to school in this town and it was our friend who works there and she made the executive decision! the theatre ran out of s's so they pushed jackbutt. can't do it any other way than without s's. so the theatre isnt to blame! but it still rocks. this was the way to get orange city named!

I know the girl who did this...I go to college there with her. They ran out of S' for the sign! They didn't do it because they were "stupid," "ignorant," or offended.
