A shooting in a Pittsburgh multiplex Wednesday night has resulted in a death, and the removal of the 50 Cent film thought to have incited it:

The Loews theater chain pulled rapper 50 Cent's new film Get Rich or Die Tryin' from a theater near Pittsburgh after a man was shot to death in the lobby Wednesday night.

Police said Shelton Flowers, 30, of Wilkinsburg, Pa., was shot at 11:06 p.m. and died later at an area hospital. [...]

It is not clear whether the individuals involved in the shooting had just left the screening of Get Rich, which had started at 10 p.m., but Reid acknowledged that they had come from that direction.

It may not be clear, but we think it's safe to say Get Rich Or Die Tryin' was the cinematic culprit. After all, what kind of gunplay could be inspired by any of the other movies playing at the same Loews theater that evening?

· Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang
· A History of Violence
· Doom

Wholesome entertainments like these, with their accompanying, hip-hop-free soundtracks, induce only one thing: a fun, uneventful, and escapist evening at the movies!
