wow microsoft, just wow

But the asian guy was left alone?

Because the Japanese site replaces all three with cute chicks wearing sleezy girl school outfits?

Or, Steve Balmer just wants to have a beer with Obama at the white house

Arabic version - both guys have poorly added photo-shopped beards, and the woman is wearing a Burka.

Microsoft is missing some marketing gold here...."Well, it was made on a Mac"

slashed!

This is getting stupid.

At first I didn't notice the guy getting replaced, I thought it was the white Apple Macbook on the desk.

Look at the hands.

The real story here is the hot woman on the right.

you do know many marketing firms will do this with demographics (and liability in mind).

In the US, it seems any ad campaign that doesn't prominently feature an africian american risks someone bringing a suit forward. Even on our internal HR docs we have to be careful to represent 'people of color' in any flyers.

I cannot believe Microsoft apologized for this. Who deserves an apology here?

Yum.

I saw this yesterday, but it is hilarious again because i didn't realize that Microsoft left the black guy's hand.

Just waiting for Rev Al Sharpton to chime in.

This was all over 4Chan, Slashdot and dozens of forums. ATOT has no where near that kind of influence these days.
