The Hollywood Reporter says New Regency Productions has contacted police and the Motion Picture Association Of America about Newgrounds.com's posting of footage from "Freddy Got Fingered" that shows the Ottawa-born shock-comic masturbating an obviously aroused horse and sucking on the teets of a cow.
The site, which has the clips available in both streaming and downloadable video formats, claims the clips were stolen by a production assistant from the editing room. They claim 50 minutes of raw footage was taken, although only the two brief barnyard scenarios are currently posted at the site.
"We're not very happy about this," a New Regency spokesman told The Hollywood Reporter.
"The footage was stolen from us, and we are issuing a cease-and-desist order."
Newgrounds.com, which is own by Philadelphia resident Tom Fulp, has previously run afoul of entertainment companies by parodying the "Teletubbies," Jim Henson's "Bear In The Big Blue House", and the Absolut Vodka ads.
"Freddy Got Fingered," which marks Green's directorial debut, is scheduled to open April 20.
