With editing skills so fly you'd think it had come out of the Creationism Corner!
[quote=BBC NEWS]Software giant Microsoft has apologised for editing a photo to change a black man's head to that of a white man.
The picture, showing employees sitting around a desk, appeared unaltered on the firm's US website.
But on the website of its Polish business unit the black man's head was replaced with a white face, although the colour of his hands were unchanged.
Microsoft said it had pulled the image and would be investigating who made the changes. It apologised for the gaffe.
The altered image, which also featured an Asian man and a white woman, was quickly circulated online.
Bloggers have had a field day with the story, with some suggesting Microsoft was attempting to please all markets by having a man with both a white face and a black hand.
"The white head and black hand actually symbolise interracial harmony. It is supposed to show that a person can be white and black, old and young at the same time," said one blogger on the Photoshop Disasters blog.[/quote]
Add male and female to that and you've got Michael Jackson...
[quote]Others have suggested that the ethnic mix of the Polish population may have played a part in the decision to change the photo.[/quote]
Are the they Black and White too?
Heavens it must be like walking in Monotone photo.
The Image in question:

This has been around for quite a while, only big news because someone realized it.
The white guy looks like a total dick, they shouldn't have changed him.
It's stupid that white people get replaced with black people all the time, and that isn't considered racist. It's the fucking "itz not racism iv itz agunst wite ppl" attitude.

If you noticed the very first one got locked and his account banned because he didn't include anything but the links
I went to Poland (krakow specifically) with my school when I was doing A levels. Two black friends were there with us, and all the Polish people were looking at them (it was really strange, we all thought they were massive racists at first). In the end some Polish students came up to us and asking if they were african american (they're british so no), basically we worked most of the staring was because there aren't really many black people in Poland, and presumably a lot of them had never seen a black person in real life.
I lol'd when I first saw this last night.
I smell a photoshop contest...

But serously though,
Differen't race people think if some dude gets his face replaced by some other race, they think it's racist
[B]Nobody cares what skin tone are you[/B]
Haha, oh God. I lol'd.
Reminds me of the tourist board that photoshopped the black guy into a group of white people to promote mulitculturalism - the photoshopping was just as bad too.
Silly Poland, my wonderful racist homeland.
