In today's "black people aren't marketable" news, the African American couple (played by Faizon Love and Kali Hawk) in the new comedy "Couples Retreat" were removed from the film's marketing materials including movie posters for its UK release. The studio's whitewashed explanation is that they wanted "to simplify the poster to actors who are most recognisable in international markets." As an apology the studio promised to never ever again make romantic comedies featuring pudgy, pasty older men scoring unrealistically attractive wifeys.
