What the movie posters really say

At the end of Oscar nomination week, one Internet jokester is poking fun at the films lukciy enough to be honored by the Academy — and some who weren’t so lucky.

“The Help” was re-named after its implicit message, that racism can be solved by a bunch of nice white people standing up against one mean white person.
