paramount doing damage control?

Word on the street is, Paramount Pictures sent out an urgent request across the internet today, asking online outlets to remove all trailers (both green and red band) for The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard, as well as the "Never Again" clip (aka the scene where the mob beats up Ken Jeong). They want it done immediately, and they mean business.

Could Paramount be shifting into damage control mode? Probably. Someone over there appears to be a little scared of the bad publicity The Goods is beginning to drum up, especially with the protest happening outside the studio this afternoon. You can wipe all the trailers and clips from the internets. That certainly doesn't change what happens in the movie.
