UPDATE
LOS ANGELES — Software giant Microsoft Corp. is apologizing for altering a photo on its Web site to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture.

A photo on the Seattle-based company's U.S. Web site shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the Web site of Microsoft's Polish business unit, the black man's head has been replaced with that of a white man. The color of his hand remains unchanged.

That's... weird. Seems racist-ish to me, yeah.

Hahahaha... they're trying so hard to not make it race related. You can only say "Your People" so many times before someones says...

What the **** do you meeeeaaaan "my people" ? Hahahaha

Yeah, I noticed really stupid. Well hopefully this will get noted ...

That's pretty cheap man. I mean... I play around in photoshop for FUN and I wouldn't accept that kind of work. This is Microsoft... wtf? What exactly are they trying to say here? Natives to these countries don't know IT stuff... so teach them with this new product or whatever? That's all I'm getting from it. I'm not mad at the MILF though... she's cool.

Photoshop fail, 101. I saw the head paste, and then saw the hand. Man, that's just LAME.

[sdavis2702]

It's even bad photoshopping behind the Polish dude's head. I can't believe they released this.

I wonder how long that picture has been up and so?
I noticed it currently while surfing randomly...

That is complete rubbish. What kind of bs is this?

Pardon?
You mean the site or this thread?

I bet it is not racism at all!

I bet they got population averages and figured who should be in the picture. Obviously if your buying a product you would like to see somebody who looks like you using the product, right?
