Source: Moviefone.comOkay, this ain't a magic trick! Look real hard, see the black people, then you don't! See the US poster (right), then see the one for overseas (left). Black folk have been known to wade in the water since the Underground Railroad, but unfortunately in the promotional poster for Universal's "Couples Retreat", the black couple must wade far in the back if they are to appear in the poster at all. Lawd! They are so far back that they're gonna miss the boat to international ... Read Full Story

Okay people! I'm putting on my dancing shoes! Warming up the joints--can't drop it like I used--and preparing for the big day, November 14th. And why is that day so special?
