Hollywood Muzzles Itself
¦¦ I know I said I wouldn’t post anything else until I switch providers, but…
As if free speech isn’t under enough attack in the USA, Warner Bros has decided to remove the peace sign being flashed by Amanda Bynes on the poster for the movie, What A Girl Wants. WB fears that the “peace sign would be viewed as a political message.” Well, gosh, yes, the message being that peace is a good thing. It’s not surprising that the poster, revised or otherwise, is nowhere to be found on the movie’s official site.
Hollywood has lost its balls. A peace sign will offend someone? How much more ridiculous is it going to get in the USA?????

I know. God forbid you piss off the demographic that is anti-peace.
