There seems to be a lot of blogger outrage about the fact that the African American actors in “Couples Retreat,” Faizon Love and Kali Hawk (image via Jeff Wells) have been photoshopped out of the U.K. version of the film’s poster (see version on the left).
Uhh, but it was ok that Love and Hawk were just a marginalized, almost non-existent, throw-away blip on the original version, right? Where was the outrage about that?
The answer: there was none, because as long as people are “represented” somewhere it’s ok, right? More likely people didn’t notice whether they were on or off the original poster.
The fact is people need content, but making a fuss about this now seems even more insulting, frankly.
