I had one of those moments recently with the upcoming movie Ted. I saw a still poster for it (the picture to the left). Seeing the sweet Teddy bear, I thought it might be a kids movie and pulled up the YouTube trailer. Thankfully, my kids were at camp, not at home with me, because Ted is rated R. Ted is not about a cuddly teddy bear kids might adore, as I thought when seeing the poster.
Ted is about a foul-mouthed, beer drinking teddy bear who is a roommate to an equally foul-mouthed character portrayed by Mark Wahlberg.
The movie does not fit my tastes at all. But, I have to say, "hmmm" on the poster. Why the ambiguity? The teddy bear alone makes one think cute and cuddly, not rude and crude.

I guess others had the same thoughts I did, because I've seen newer posters and they're like the one on the right. They give more an indication that this is not an upcoming family flick.
That's my mini-rant for today.
Tomorrow, I'll have a weekend roundup.
