Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: Dunk on August 25, 2009, 03:41:24 PM Looks like the Polish guy's head is too small.

Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: gleek on August 25, 2009, 08:21:32 PM It looks like one of the machines in their server farm still has the original non-multicultural image. LOL

Both versions look like they could have been Photochopped.
Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: MFAWG on August 25, 2009, 08:37:46 PM I am lost. Both pics look the same.
Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: dystopia on August 25, 2009, 09:34:17 PM I'm surprised it took them so long to fix it.
For those that missed it. Here's the bad photoshopped (mspaint?) version on the Microsoft US vs. Polish site. They should have turned that mac into a netbook or something.

It looks like the black dude has a more natural head position than the white dude, making the bottom one look more like the altered one. But if you look closely at the top of black dude's head, the transition from hair to window looks rather sharp and more like it's the altered one. OTOH, that entire background could have been Photoshopped in. It was probably a solid white wall originally.

Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: Blader on August 26, 2009, 08:59:45 AM What is funny is the greatest, deepest pocketed corp in the world going cheap and using stock photo sites (http://www.dreamstime.com/all-editorschoice_pg=1) for their advertising needs, and then using an Adobe product to butcher it up
but I guess that makes sense, as Jobs would say, the problem with MS is they just don't have any class Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: stroh on August 26, 2009, 09:26:09 AM LMAO! (http://microlove.ytmnd.com/) LMAO! This will become one of the best memes evar! Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: Fuzzy on August 27, 2009, 06:41:13 AM LMAO! (http://microlove.ytmnd.com/) [sm_laughing] Update: http://www.startribune.com/lifestyle/55009602.html?elr=KArksLckD8EQDUoaEyqyP4O:DW3ckUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUUJ Quote LOS ANGELES - Software giant Microsoft Corp. is apologizing for altering a photo on its Web site to change the race of one of the people shown in the picture. A photo on the Seattle-based company's U.S. Web site shows two men, one Asian and one black, and a white woman seated at a conference room table. But on the Web site of Microsoft's Polish business unit, the black man's head has been replaced with that of a white man. The color of his hand remains unchanged. Title: Re: LOL at Microsoft Post by: stroh on August 27, 2009, 07:31:09 AM ^ LOL Kaboom!
Photoshop guys: Can you put that flashing black to white head on this dude?

(http://microlove.ytmnd.com/) Funniest thing I've seen in awhile. Too dumb to change the color of his hand or is that the same disease MJ had but in reverse? |
