In an innocent effort to ‘to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognizable in international markets’ the folks at Universal Pictures removed an African American couple which included comedian Faizon Love from the UK version of the ad…
Photoshop Disaster…Retreat.

Excellent modification, the poster looks a whole lot less dirty now…
What intelligent AfricanAmericn would want to see that bullshit movie anyways? Most Uppity Negros (google it) consume themselves with reading.
Any reason why you’re so fucking retarded? Probably just bought up by a bunch of incest hicks. Oh, see it’s not fun being steriotyped is it? We’re all just humans you stupid bitchface, your color doesn’t make you who you are, it’s what kind of person you are that does. Your prejudice (i dunno maybe you need to look that one up in the dictionary, incest people are’nt that smart, must be hard for you) against black people makes me think your a bad person, the kind of person god made a mistake by creating. Go to hell.
He’s so far back in the original, he wasn’t in that one either. Whitey wins again!

THEY WANT YALL 2 PAY GOOD $ SO THEY CAN SIT OUR ASS @ THE BACK OF THE BUS IN 2009- IM SEE IT ON BOOTLEG ANYWAY! KEEP IT UP HOLLYWIERD.
They even took their names out *smdh*
but of course
Wow. Just crazy to see this happen once again. Not shocking but crazy. And anonymous is there a reason why you should be so hateful? Get a life. Plus the advertisers could have made a better poster in general. It looks cheap and boring. Even with the “modifications” I still hate the poster.
Who cares that they are in the VERY back of the picture – if it were a white couple, then THEY would be in the VERY back of the picture… where’s the logic? SOMEONE had to be back there… what’s the big deal that it’s the black couple? YALL ARE RIDICULOUS!!! GROW UP!!
Are you really that Naive?????? IDIOT!!!!!
Um yea that, and they got photoshoped out of the other picture????????????????????????????????????????????
I don’t understand why though, there are a lot of black people in England from what I can tell from brittish shows.
Agreed, they were all the way in the back and most likely have a small role in the film. People only have a problem since the black people were removed.
Silly me, I always forget that Black people don’t exist anywhere but the U.S. and South Africa. Lord forbid they see a Black person on a movie poster in the U.K., they might think it was a movie about aliens from the black lagoon or something… sheesh.
this is happening a little too often with major cooperations and their advertisement… what was it windows that did the same thing not too long ago
Sad but true! $$$$$$$$ always wins!
its not like uk peoples are running to the theaters to see faizon love anyways
