Warren Cheswick Makes a Porno?

Justin Long, the Mac to John Hodgman’s PC in Apple’s (in)famous “Get a Mac” advertising campaign, apparently has a role in the new Kevin Smith film Zack and Miri Make a Porno, and while I am just as much an Apple fan as I am a View Askew fan, I am not sure that this is a good thing.

I first heard about Long’s cameo during the flurry of news coming out of this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and back then it didn’t bother me. But seeing this picture, the one I’ve embedded above, seeing Justin do the same thing he’s been doing since his Warren Cheswick days on Ed (I loved me some Ed by the way… anyone else?), it has me a bit worried. Much as I love Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, it’s cameo/in-joke -ridden sense of humor isn’t the sort of thing I’m hoping for from this new film.

In Kevin I Trust, and all that. But this photo has me scared. How about you?
