I'm not sure what is worse... the fact that some people were offended and complained over the choice of language, or the fact that Odeon bowed down to such pressure.
Sorry this is late, but ... the ad was removed from certain features as a large number of parents of very young children were understandably distressed at having to explain the concept of child abduction to their own kids, after having only gone out for a nice family matinee showing of Shrek.

On the topic in question - I'm very glad to hear that this little girl has been freed, although it's distressing to read about the 'trance like' state she was in when they got her back, and the fact that she was covered in mosquito bites.
