Ninja Turtle poster removed for "referencing" 9/11

[url=http://herocomplex.latimes.com/movies/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-poster-withdrawn-over-911-concerns/#/0]link[/url] [spoiler]Paramount Pictures Australia is apologizing for and immediately discontinuing a poster from the upcoming “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” film that contains an image reminiscent of the Sept. 11, 2001, tragedy. On the Australia poster, the four hero turtles are shown jumping out of an exploding skyscraper with the Australia release date of Sept. 11 in red lettering below. “We are deeply sorry to have used that artwork for the marketing materials promoting the September 11 opening in Australia,” said Tom Roache, head of publicity for Paramount Pictures Australia, in an email. “Combining that image and date was a mistake. We intended no offense and have taken immediate action to discontinue its use.”[/spoiler] Would you say this is political correctness gone too far?
