In reaction to complaints they glorify gangs and violence, Paramount is taking down some billboards for the 50 Cent movie Get Rich or Die Tryin’. The billboards show 50 Cent in a crucifixion pose with a gun in one hand and a microphone in the other. Doesn’t everyone know that a rapper has to hold a gun when they sing? It’s what gives them cred. Trouble is, 6th graders don’t know that or don’t need to know that and that’s exactly where one of the boards is located – right next to a school. School officials and area activists want the board gone. Paramount is taking them down.
