Paramount UNDER FIRE For 9/11 Themed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Posters

Not only did producers of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set a release date in Australia of Sept. 11, they also released an official poster depicting the Turtles falling from a burning skyscraper, reminiscent of the fallen Twin Towers.

The heartless poster has caused an uproar among victims’ families of 9/11, who are still feeling the sting of losing their loved ones.

The studio kept the image on Twitter and on its Facebook page — which has 6.5 million followers — for a couple of hours before social media backlash and “Turtles did 9/11” jokes forced them to take it down. The movie’s U.S. release date is August 8, so a poster designed for American audiences could have had its date swapped in Australia without anyone at the studio anticipating how some fans would read it. source
