Baby Mama, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler's comedy about surrogate motherhood, delivered the No. 1 spot at the weekend box office with $18.3 million in ticket sales, according to studio estimates yesterday.
The laugher crawled past Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay, the goofy stoner flick that opened at No. 2.
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through yesterday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to Media By Numbers LLC. Final figures will be released today:
1. "Baby Mama," $18.3 million.

Censorship? What censorship? It isn't censorship to call someone an idiot because their position is stupid, it's censorship to keep them from publishing or speaking their stupid position. And no one is doing that.
