Netflix Fans Spot Weed Joint Being Swapped For Pencil In ‘Breakfast Club’ Poster

by

Eagle-eyed Netflix subscribers have noticed a glaring Photoshop edit made to the poster of classic film The Breakfast Club.
According to viewers, the scene of Brian Johnson smoking a joint has been edited to show him holding a pencil instead. They have thus taken to Twitter to ask if anyone else has noticed the difference.
Twitter user @ballofregret tweeted about the change, writing, “Y’all, Netflix photoshopped a pencil into Brian’s hand instead of the zoot, I’m dying.” The tweet went viral, with many agreeing that Netflix had replaced it with a pencil, perhaps to make it more family-friendly.
Fans of the film, however, weren’t too happy with the move, as the streaming platform also features movies that have weed in them. “There’s so many Netflix Originals about weed, I don’t get why they censored this,” one Twitter user asked. “So sick of art being censored. Didn’t we used to fight against s**t?” another user questioned.
