Black actors airbrushed out of "Couples Retreat" poster
Posters for "Couples Retreat" got the Photoshop treatment when the movie was premiered in the U.K. On the left is the version that was used in the U.S. and to the right is the one being used around London. Notice which two actors have now suddenly disappeared?

Two little girls sing "Help"
When I first saw this video I thought "Crap, Hanson's back?" Actually, this is a video of two young girls doing a spot-on version of the Beatles' "Help". Watching the video I can only wonder how many hours the girls' Beatles-obsessed father made them sit and learn songs by the fab four. Do you think the fact that they chose "Help" is a signal to the internet community? Are they begging to be saved from a hellish life of having to listen to "Lady Madonna" over and over until they nail the ba-ba-ba-ba's?
They are talented, though.
