On a side note...

I just came across the poster for "Couples Retreat" movie, which apparently has been changed and the black characters were removed by the studio for the premier of the movie in the UK. The Huffington Post, posted on their blog ; "A Universal spokesman said the revised advert aimed 'to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets'."

Just wanted to take you guys back to the issues brought up in class regarding "blackness" and race. Is the excuse provided by the studio enough for the critiquing audiences?
