Microsoft Apologizes Via Twitter For Photoshop Disaster

26 August 2009 Comments

In an obvious attempt to appeal to their Polish customers; Microsoft was busted putting a white guys head on a black mans body. The original photo appears on their business productivity website and features one Asian man, one black man, and one white woman. However the photo was altered before appearing on their Polish website to feature one Asian man, one white man (with a black hand), and one white woman. The photo has since been replaced and Microsoft has issued an apology via their official Twitter account.

Was this an act of racism or just plain stupidity on Microsoft’s part? What do you think?
