Posters for "What a Girl Wants," starring Amanda Bynes, were airbrushed by Warner Brothers to eliminate the peace sign she was flashing. Studio officials said they didn't want any "political overtones" to be associated with the movie's April 4 release. The movie tells the story of a 19-year-old girl (Bynes is actually 16) travelling from New York to London for a reunion with her upper-class father, played by Colin Firth, and her efforts to fit into British society. One way she could probably fit into British society would be to tell them she thinks people who flash peace signs should be suppressed like the Zulus.
