50 CENT APPALLED BY JAMES BOND GUN POSTERS
50 CENT is accusing Hollywood of double standards after seeing the new JAMES BOND holding a gun in posters for CASINO ROYALE - a year after billboards of him sporting a weapon caused a furore.
The rapper - real name CURTIS JACKSON - is appalled by the fact no one has raised a fuss about DANIEL CRAIG's gun-toting posters when he was castigated for posing with a weapon in billboards for movie GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN'.
He says, "Get Rich Or Die Tryin' comes out and they want to protest because they see a gun in my hand but James Bond comes out or MR + MRS SMITH will come out with guns and it's acceptable.
"You can see any kind of gun there is to see on the covers of films. You can go in Blockbuster and see every gun that was ever made."
The rap star calls for one universal ruling about weapons in movie posters - and he'll accept whatever the Hollywood film police decide.
He adds, "Let's not start with 50 Cent and stop with 50 Cent. Let's do it everywhere else and make it unacceptable period. I would gladly join the rest of entertainment if we get there."

Although I have no great empathy for 50's case...his messge does ring clear;
hollywood & the public are readily accepting of gun violence unless promoted by
a rapper. A rapper is, unfortunately, a scary black man in many people's eyes.
Why should 50cent be stopped from displaying a gun on promotional material if
James Bond can? What's the difference? 50cent's (or any other performer) public
persona is as fictional as the James Bond character in many ways. Is gun
violence ok? No. But, double standards aren't either. In my opinion, 50 cent
should readily stop using gun imagery and not wait for hollywood to follow suit.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some caps to bust in some asses.
what an idiot...
James Bond is a FICTIONAL based charachter and has been for some 40 years or
more the James Bond logo itself has a gun designed into it, the opening scene
that is played in every single bond movie made has James Bond holding a pistol.
Yes 50 lets go back and photochop guns out of some 50million movies with them
on the cover cause guns are bad mmmk
