Dogs with Rabies
Slave
Man in Hockey Mask
Evil Clown

Full Story: http://www.albinism.org/pressRelease...005-01-06.htmlThe National Organization For Albinism And Hypopigmentation (NOAH) is warning film director Ron Howard not to perpetuate demeaning stereotypes by portraying an albino character in the upcoming movie version of The DaVinci Code as a red-eyed psychopath.
NOAH people complain that in the book, the albino character Silas has red eyes when most people with pigmentation problems have light blue- or hazel-colored eyes.
“Ron Howard can make a big difference for people with albinism by continuing the trend away from a hack device if they adjust the Silas character to not be an evil albino,” said NOAH president Mike McGowan. “Over the years the stereotyping and misinformation foisted on the albinism community by film-makers does real harm to real people."
The movie due to be released in mid-2006.
