Warner Brothers is accused of exploiting African amputees in order to promote the movie "Blood Diamond". IMDB says:

The studio handpicked 27 teenage and child amputees from South African hospitals to appear as extras in the Leonardo DiCaprio film and promised to provide prosthetic limbs as well as a small salary for their contribution. However, more than three months after filming wrapped, the kids are reportedly still waiting for their new limbs...

And here's the money shot, a rep for Warner Brothers told the amputees, "You will have to wait for December, when the movie comes out, so we can get some publicity out of it."

He's just the actor and has nothing, so it seems from what you posted, to do with the thing. I think it's misrepresenting Mr. Dicaprio a bit..

Typical Hollywood. ... (Below threshold)
