One of these things is not like the other....
Microsoft USA: http://www.microsoft.com/businessproductivity/default.mspx
Microsoft Poland: http://www.microsoft.com/poland/businessproductivity/default.mspx
It really is quite sad to see how far political correctness has come. :rofl:
EDIT: In hindsight, maybe this thread would be better served in the Society/Politics forum.
LOLOLOL. I didn't know what to expect but this thread delivers.

I think the USA version may be a chop as well. Doesn't anyone else think the black guy's head is a bit too big for the body? Look at his shoulders, doesn't seem right.

The lighting on the white guy's head is off, whereas it looks normal on the black guy.
Also the shadow on the right shoulder of the jacket matches the black guy's head.

well, even if the black guy is a chop too, they definately used that for the pollack chop. you can see that they forgot to fill in the vertical lines on the building outside the window, behind where the black guys head used to be.

You say that like this was an ad for IBM or something. Microsoft develops software for both platforms, I don't see the problem with them advertising to Mac users. :dunno:

Yes. I am sure Microsoft really wants Apple products in their ads. If they didn't mind, why blank out the logo?
Come on, now...it was a clear oversight in the photo session. :)

Microsoft apologizes for changing race in photo
Software company alters online ad on company's Polish site, replaces head of black man with head of white man
Los Angeles — The Associated Press
Last updated on Wednesday, Aug. 26, 2009 12:37PM EDT
Software giant Microsoft Corp. is apologizing for altering a photo on its website to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture.
A photo on the Seattle-based company's U.S. website shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the website of Microsoft's Polish business unit, the black man's head has been replaced with that of a white man. The colour of his hand remains unchanged.
The photo editing sparked criticism online. Some bloggers said Poland's ethnic homogeneity may have played a role in changing the photo.
“We are looking into the details of this situation,” Microsoft spokesperson Lou Gellos said in a statement Tuesday. “We apologize and are in the process of pulling down the image.”
