It looks badly photoshopped.

what's worse is I actually saw a complaint about one of the "You find it, you keep it commercials"...it's the one with the couple and the baby...apparently some had issue with it being a mixed couple and their child and it was all "the liberal media is pushing their miscegination (sp?) agenda" and other assorted stupid complaints

 

[terry78]

Apparently any interracial couples in the media is just being politically correct.

 

[Darthphere]

Wow, Poland is racist.

 

[terry78]

Wow, Poland is racist.

Considering their history, you'd think they'd be the last.

 

[Mee]

They're not totally racist. They like black people's hands.

[LouFerignoDemon]

The black man wasn't even young, he was old. So it's like a double whammy. Old black man at least is a more realistic corporate giant, goddamn.

 

[BlackLantern]

so the Asian gets to stay but the black man gets shopped out?? what the hell??

 

[Darthphere]

He looks hispanic to me.

 

[terry78]

Nah, he's one of those mother****ers from the islands.

 

[BlackLantern]

why not just photoshop a calculator next to the Asian and what is the woman doing there anyway?? shouldn't she be at home cooking dinner??

 

[The Lizard]

Maybe there aren't that many black people in Poland?

 

[Darthphere]

barefoot and pregnant.

There isn't, and the ones that are there are racially discriminated. I mean, the article says so. Did you bother to read the article?

 

[Erzengel]

While they were at it, could they have given the girl a bigger set of breasts?

I just looked at the pretty pictures.


Besides, I don't really do much readin'...

And, BTW, the article says NOTHING about black people being racially discriminated against in Poland. It only says: "Some bloggers said Poland's ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo."

Poland is only racist against blacks.

Boobs of all shapes and sizes are accepted.
