He never starred in a movie. He never wrote, directed, or produced a movie. He was a politician and chairman of the Republican National Committee before becoming the first chairman of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America. He&#8217;s best remembered for the Hays Code, a set of moral rules that films were required to follow. I thought there could be no better way to celebrate him than to watch a film that gleefully breaks a bunch of those rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lucky for us, the Hays Code was abandoned, and no Republicans ever try to censor any one any more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This fake poster is based on the incredibly clever idea that the opposite of &#8220;living&#8221; is &#8220;dead.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-for-Living-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"A fake poster for Design For Living mimicking the poster for Dawn of the Dead.\" class=\"wp-image-3323\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-for-Living-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-for-Living-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-for-Living-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Design-for-Living.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m sure Hays loved this movie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3330,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"activitypub_content_warning":"","activitypub_content_visibility":"","activitypub_max_image_attachments":10,"activitypub_interaction_policy_quote":"anyone","activitypub_status":"federated","footnotes":""},"categories":[161,63,20],"tags":[365,357,78,10,358],"class_list":["post-3334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-movie-pass-adventures","category-movies","category-photoshop","tag-hays-code","tag-hollywood","tag-movies","tag-photoshop","tag-walk-of-fame"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3334"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3335,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions\/3335"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3330"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ga2so.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
