Universal Erases Black Actors From “Couples Retreat” Movie Poster
Posted by Shel in Celebrity, Film on November 16, 2009 12:30 am / 1 comment

The year is 2009, America has elected a African American as the President of these United States, and yet and still this kind of complete and utter disgraceful bullsh*t goes on. Universal Studios decided that the African American actors should be disappeared for the UK poster of Couples Retreat.
Here’s what the the shameless studio had to say:
The studio said it regretted causing offence and has abandoned plans to use the revised poster in other countries… A Universal spokesman said the revised advert aimed ‘to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets’.
Anyone that has been overseas knows that that excuse is a bunch of BULLSH*T. There really should be some repercussion for this.

Shel – Give it a rest. You said: “The year is 2009, America has elected a African American as the President of these United States, and yet and still this kind of complete and utter disgraceful bullsh*t goes on.” The only utter disgraceful bullsh*t (as you put it) going on are those who are racist – and you sound very racist. Universal has not done anything unethical. Get a life! Movie covers change from country to country – and I travel to foreign countries 9 times a year. So spend your time going Green (oops, racial?), save a tree, save the ocean, whatever. Just dont hammer on things which are beyond your comprehension.
