Movie Buzz The black couple is edited out of the UK's “Couples Retreat” poster. I blame Vince Vaughn.

there? that better?! i'm with the group that says the original was more offensive because they're in the background.
And yet Vince Vaughn is still the most offensive thing about this poster.
uh, how about because no one knows who the hell those two actors are. you put recognizable people on movie posters. not the guy with the bit part in elf and made (and whatever other favereau production) the REAL racism is that the black people were put on the american poster to patronize black audiences
Well, the UK poster is a much better product (clearly, ask any art director). However, there is NO reason why Faizon Love and Kali Hawk could not have been brought into the foreground of a better poster. The “more recognizable actors” excuse is lame and shameful.
black people get offended by everything
Everyone thinks racism is bad in the US but have no clue it's worse elsewhere. The US is by far the most progressive country in race relations.
they just thought inanimate objects like the suitcase, leis, and Vince Vaughn's fivehead would be more marketable than two indistinct brown figures in the background… what don't u understand?
I think it's really more insulting to have them in the picture but tucked all the way in the background. What would Rosa Parks say?
Funny, I was just reminiscing last night about how racism was the worst part of living in England for two years earlier this decade.
