LONDON, July 5 (UPI) -- Two
British movie theater chains are caught in the middle
when it comes to a video about Madeleine McCann, the 4-year-old abducted in Portugal two
months ago.
Citing complaints from parents who said their children were upset by the video
showing photos of the 4-year-old girl and explaining how she was kidnapped from
her family's holiday home, Cineworld and Odeon had
Carlton Screen Advertising remove the "Find Madeleine" video, Sky
News reported Wednesday. But then other parents who support the video began
contacting Sky News.
"If your child can understand Shrek, then your child should be aware of
stranger danger," an American woman told the British news agency. "I
find it quite naive of any mother who thinks they need to shield their child
from this awful truth."
Niamh Brennan of Colchester, concurred, saying that
not advertising Madeleine's plight "is pretending it does not
happen."
"This is not Disneyland. This is the real
world," she said.
A Carlton
spokeswoman said she was aware many people wanted the video to be carried
despite the complaints but that it is the job of a cinema chain to entertain,
and not to risk offending its audience. |
