Microsoft photo sparks racism row wrote:

Microsoft is under fire for digitally editing a publicity photo to remove a black man.

Photos posted online appear to show two versions of a Microsoft website, one from the US and one from Poland.

In the US version, a black man is seated in the middle of the photo. In the Polish version, the black man's head has been replaced with a white man's.

However, the colour of the man's hands was unchanged.

Microsoft told British newspaper The Sun it had removed the image and was investigating. The company apologised for the mistake.

? This couldn't be true. I'm a total beginner and I could do a better photoshop job than that.

Maybe its a regional thing. Like american focus groups vs polish focus groups viewing the ad. Maybe Polish respond differently to an ad with a black guy in it. Either way M$ is in some deep crap.

Well, I don't really think that man qualifies as black, maybe caramel-colored...

And, as far as I know there are no black people on the internet, so this must be shopped.

But reagardless, I am sure that the Negro community is frowning upon Mocrosoft's shenanigans.
