Couple of weeks back, Philadelphia Police Officer Charles Cassidy was shot and killed. He was the third Officer shot that week. Understandably, the notion of gun crime is a sensitive one in Philadelphia right now. So when tons of large posters and bus ads for the upcoming Hitman movie went up all over the city, people got a little upset. Police complained, the Mayor’s office found out, and asked for the posters to be taken down. Which they were. The report claims the ads “show a man pointing a gun, with a nearly naked woman draped over him”, though the above pic is as close as we could find to a poster fitting that description.
HITMAN OFFED [Philadelphia Daily News, thanks Derek!]
