Saw this at Home Pro today. Fell over laughing but also thought what a bunch of...............

Looks like this is another way to beat the rules in advertising your products here. LOL:rolleyes:

I think the Black Man logo is rather cute. What's the problem?

So GetLost....you ARE a Walmart shopper.

Well, you're wrong. If it was a cute gay man, a positive image, no problem. If it was some kind of negative stereotype, not so good. Do you really see anything nefarious about that pleasant image of a friendly happy black man?

I guess you are right; that would never happen at Walmart. The guy in the logo has a bow tie, far to sophisticated for Walmart shoppers.

Very smart advertisement because the character looks like so many different individuals.

Let's do a Jewish Man product logo.

Positive logo --

Negative logo --

Looks like its Garth Crooks when he was young lol

Agreed - But in these modern politically correct 'we are not sure if we are supposed to say black or colored' days... Any image with any link to anyone who is not a hetrosexual white male will at some point draw the attention of the 'PC do-gooders'.

I'm sure somewhere there are people around who would choose to take offense at this 'Black Man' image, and JT as you have pointed out it's not an offensive image.

They have no say here, clearly nobody listens to them anyway.

Goes right along with my idea to sell toothpaste to the British:

English Teeth, English Teeth!

Shining in the sun

A part of British heritage

Aye, each and every one.

English Teeth, Happy Teeth!

Always having fun

Clamping down on bits of fish

And sausages half done.

English Teeth! HEROES' Teeth!

Hear them click! and clack!

Let's sing a song of praise to them -

Three Cheers for the Brown, Grey and Black.

— Spike Milligan, "Teeth"

Then again they would probably never use it

It is offensive if you are aware of the "step and fetch it" stereotype.

And certainly don't call anyone "colored," what are you, living in the 50's? Jeesh

Its kind of like selling a money counter called "Jew boy" or a lockpick called "Australian Man," the list could go on.....

Goes right along with my idea to sell toothpaste to the British:

Yes, because adult teeth are meant to be naturally 'brilliant shiny reflective white' aren't they ?

I don't know what they should look like but they shouldn't look like this :

Black men's stereotype? Do you mean PRESIDENTS?

I'd think I would buy a Jew Boy money counter (that's funny!) IF I happened to have enough money to need a money counter, which I don't, but one can dream ...

It's certainly a better branding idea than Big Mormon Mama Money Counter, eh?

or a lockpick called "Australian Man

What? I don't get, and have never heard of, the association of Australia and lockpickers?

If you are talking about house break ins, in Australia that's normally effected by smashing a window or roof tiles, and is normally done by someone who looks a lot like the fellow in post #1.

What, aren't Australians all thieves? It was in fact started as a penal colony, don't mean to stereotype though

Whether Obama is black or not is debatable

Love the can though, wonder what the Japanese says?

And I thought the image Issan related.

People of color is perfectly fine though.

Always enjoy the closet racists debating in veiled terms...ahhh progress.

Why do people come here and then try to impose their cultue and values. If you took a vote of the world's population you may find that it is perfectly acceptible. It would be in China or India. .

Come on, I've only ever meet Aussies on Thai visa parties. Judging from that, Aussies are far to drunk to chat up a girl never mind picking locks.

Jebus H Christ on a cracker, now you old farts are dragging the PC hysteria to Thailand. I would have thought that was part of the reason you are in LOS to begin with, to escape the insanity. Oh wait.
