A racially insensitive decision is spiraling out of control for the U.K. release of the movie Couples Retreat. Notice the serious lack of color between the U.K. poster and the U.S poster. In response to outrage over the move, a Universal spokesman said the altered poster aimed “to simplify the poster to actors who are most [recognizable] in international markets.” Hmmm, I can see how Faizon Love and Kali Hawk are not as big names as Vince Vaughn, Jason Batemen, Kristin Davis, Malin Akerman, Kristin Bell and Jon Favreau… still, they had to know that they were going to take crap for this.
Look. Where are all the ninjas these days? They’ve come in the American, child, robot and teenage mutant variety in recent years… but how about just play old ninjas? Enter the Wachowski Brothers, the creators of the Matrix, who will be bringing a proper ninja to the big screen with Ninja Assassin staring Korean Pop star Rain as the Ninja. Check out the trailer below…there’s black outfits, swords, throwing stars and everything
New Orleans justice of the piece, Keith Bardwell is a racist. This cajun douchebag refused to marry an interracial couple in Tangipahoa Parish because he doesn’t believe in mixing of the races.
“I’m not a racist. I just don’t believe in mixing the races that way,” Bardwell told the Associated Press on Thursday. “I have piles and piles of black friends. They come to my home, I marry them, they use my bathroom. I treat them just like everyone else.”
Like most quasi-intelligent racists…he claims to love black people and have tons of black friends. C’mon man, if you are going to be a southern hick asshole at least have the balls to admit it. This comes on the heels of our mixed race President visiting New Orleans… still don’t believe in mixing of the races Keith? New Orleans has suffered enough the last few years, its time for them to run this guy out of town. He’s been on the job 34 years, and he’s denied other interracial couples before. Now Bardwell’s going to cost the State a ton of money in a civil suit. The denied couple Beth Humphrey, 30, and 32-year-old Terence McKay, both of Hammond, say they will consult the U.S. Justice Department about filing a discrimination complaint. I’m sure the ACLU will have a field day with this.
Either way, this is 2009…smile Keith Bardwell, you are Buzz Pirates Douche of the Day.

An woman was arrested Tuesday afternoon after police say she injured her child while dragging it through a Verizon store in Rome, Alabama. Melissa Catherine Smith-Means, 37, of Gaylesville, Ala., was arrested by police around 12:30 p.m. She was charged with felony first-degree cruelty to children.
Police say she was observed by customers and employees at a store on Broad Street, dragging a small child around by a backpack leash. The child had visible marks on the neck from the dragging. Best(worst) part? The whole thing was caught on video! Alabama child dragging is part of the culture I suppose? The video is below.
Smile Melissa Catherine Smith-Means, you are Buzz Pirates Douche of the Day.
NBA Player Richard Jeffersonchanged his mind about 11 hours before his wedding to his gorgeous fiancé, dancer Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols. Not only did he say peace out to his fiancé, he also failed to let friends and family know; and as they arrived for the ceremony, they were informed that nuptials were canceled.
It’s one thing to cancel on your bride before the wedding. Still, letting all of your guests show up to what will turn out to be the most embarrassing day of Kesha’s life is terrible. Kesha’s call us, we’ll be your shoulder.
Smile Richard Jefferson – you are our douche of the day…unless she was, like, a pain in the ass or something – then you are off the hook.
