    Microsoft not-so political correct photo retouching



    Not only did they use a picture with a mac where they removed the apple logo but for the Polish site they simply changed the black guy to a whitey. Awesome.

    who cares. its for a different country. if they don't like black people... then why show a black person in the picture?

    contrary to popular belief, the world isn't fair and life isn't fair. Fat, ugly women don't model for Victorias Secret for a reason.

          There's at least 1 other thread about this, though it probably wasn't much older than this one.

            Removing the Apple logo was the funniest part. The black to white might have been a decision based on the demographics of their target audience. The logo change was just plain pathetic. (and very telling)

                theres a mac in the picture. Mac laptops have the apple logo on the lid, which was clearly photoshopped out in this picture

                        Looks like it...white guy's like "that's my pimp hand!". They also didn't change the shadow to the left of the head even though the "white head" is tilted a different way - was trying to figure out why that looked weird, lol. The woman is like "why the fuck did I get THIS shitty seat where I have to crane my fucking neck around to see whatever the fuck it is we're smiling at?"

                                                                                        First the new head in the picture in the middle is too small for the rest of the body. Next, the lighting on the face is all wrong (It's coming from the wrong direction! Look where the light is on the model on the right, compared to the guy in the middle).

                                                                                        Besides all this, Microsoft has tons of money and they never would have went for a mere photochop to appeal to different countries or cultures, they would have reshot the entire picture, used different models in a different setting etc etc. Finally, this picture looks like a typilcal stock photo you can buy from istock.com.
