Warner Brothers is accused of exploiting African amputees in order to promote the movie "Blood Diamond". IMDB says:
The studio handpicked 27 teenage and child amputees from South African hospitals to appear as extras in the Leonardo DiCaprio film and promised to provide prosthetic limbs as well as a small salary for their contribution. However, more than three months after filming wrapped, the kids are reportedly still waiting for their new limbs…
And here's the money shot, a rep for Warner Brothers told the amputees, "You will have to wait for December, when the movie comes out, so we can get some publicity out of it."
Holy Christ. Really? They couldn't just put little Santa hats on the amputees now and film it, then show it in December. Maybe give one of them a giant candy cane instead of a leg. Well, okay, maybe not that, but they could do something. At least pay them now. I'd rather be a raccoon in America than a human being in Africa, those people have enough problems. Hey Warner Brothers - fuck you.
Dude…that is SO fucked. God damn, I hate companies whose only concern is the bottom line. This COULD have been an opportunity to do something good, and garner publicity for their kindness, but instead Hollywood poisons an already tainted well. Fuck you, indeed…
Amen to that, B. Greedy bastards. That’s one fucked up publicity stunt. I think that the amputees should bash them in their overinflated skulls with their prosthetics, if, indeed, Warner Fucks ever delivers.
Sounds like some shit Paris Hilton would pull… low.
I will personally fuck every employee at Warner Bros. in retaliation. Ok, only the women, but STILL! That’s really fucked up.
who needs new limbs when there’s no food, books, or foxy women to pick up with them?
If those kids wouldn’t have been so careless with their limbs in the first place, this wouldn’t even be an issue.
i know those damn kids shouldnt have been playing with firecrackers!
Just when I think there’s no hope for the human race. the bar gets lowered once again.

Jesus Christ the post from sicksauce almost had me pissing myself. Classic!
Is ther someplace to write, to tell WB that they are a pack of jackals, and deserve to have prosthetics shoved up their asses? Any knid of online petition, or anything?
These lazy kids shouldn’t expect a handout. Or a legout. Whee!
If I ruled the world I’d saw the legs off of these Hollywood buffoons and FedEx them to South Africa.
… and another thing. Where is frikkin Bono when you need a set of legs. Nobel Peace Prize my arse.
Nice fuck!
wow thats some bad publicity for the movie… i wanted to see this movie now i;m not too sure
Does Madonna only adopt kids with all of their limbs? Just brainstorming here.
Shouldn’t the title be “Maybe Be” not “Maybe”? Oh, and yea, this story is totally fucked up and this movie looks like a steamy pile a shit.
Crap, I messed the title up even more..you know what I meant.
Motherfuckers, I hope they burn in hell. All those fucking bastards at Warner Brothers are fucking jews. And no I’m not Mel Gibson, or am I?
