A racially-tinged advertising decision has gone awry for the movie "Couples Retreat."
Marketers of the Vince Vaughn comedy, which stars four couples in a tropical paradise, removed black actors Faizon Love and Kali Hawk
from the promotional poster used in the United Kingdom after the U.S.
version used all four couples. In response to outrage over the move, a
Universal spokesman said the altered poster aimed "to simplify the
poster to actors who are most [recognizable] in international markets."
