ELISHA CUTHBERT IS BANNED

March 20, 2007 | celebrity | editor | 0 Comments

The Hollywood Reporter says today that the advertising campaign for the movie "Captivity" will be scrapped today because of a barrage of objections to the images, which appear to show star Elisha Cuthbert being tortured and killed. The campaign, mainly billboards in Los Angeles and taxicab tops in New York, will be taken down today by 2:00pm. The Reporter says:

The billboards, first posted March 13, feature four frames with captions above each one. "Abduction" shows Cuthbert with a gloved hand over her face; "Confinement" features the actress behind a chain-link fence with a bloody finger poking through; "Torture" depicts Cuthbert's face, covered in white gauze, with tubes shoved up her nose; and "Termination" shows her with her head thrown back, seemingly dead. The ads appeared on 30 Los Angeles-area billboards and 1,400 New York taxi tops.

You're probably wondering why someone would make hundreds of phone calls after deciding they didn't like a billboard. The answer is obvious. It's because their life is fantastic.
