Microsoft "racism" gaff
Quote:
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.

This has to be one of the funniest things I've ever seen, not because of the racial connotations but simply because if you give it a second glance that has to be some of the worst, most laugh inducing photoshopping ever
