UK ‘Couples Retreat’ Poster Removes The Black Couple

The picture in the top left features the U.K. promotional poster for the movie Couples Retreat. Without black people. The picture in the top right is the U.S. version of the poster. With black people.

I wanted to make a joke about Brits being racist and putting the F.U. in U.K., but instead I’ll just post this quote from The Mail on Sunday:

The studio said it regretted causing offense 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 recognizable in international markets’.

A.K.A. The U.K. hates blacks, but they love them some Vince Vaughn.
