LOS ANGELES, CA Wednesday Nov.2.2005 /netmusiccountdown.com/ -- Some billboards for "Get Rich or Die Tryin'" -- 50 Cent's forthcoming movie -- were taken down in Los Angeles after local groups complained about the sign's imagery.

RollingStone.com reports that after community groups complained that billboards advertising 50 Cent's new film promoted gun violence, the film's distributor, Paramount Pictures, began removing the billboards located near Los Angeles-area schools.

The posters show 50 Cent in a crucifixion-like pose, with a microphone in one hand and a gun in his other.
