Microsoft Spot the Difference

I love the odd game of spot the difference, so here's a little game for you. Open up the following links in different tabs:

http://www.microsoft.com/poland/busi...y/default.mspx

Now why the heck would Microsoft do that so blatantly?


EDIT: They've changed it now, but here's how it was:

I know they left the woman infront of a PC in both pictures, disgusting.

LOL! The white guy still has the black guy's hand.

What language is that anyway?

Oh I see.

I don't see the big problem, england obviously has more black people in it than poland and they're trying to appeal to as many people as they can.

Maybe they were just too lazy to take another photo with a real white person in it.

I think it has been altered or summat since now the black guy looks the same in both... but I was guessing the difference was a white guy was Photoshoped onto the black guy's face?

Yeah, both look the same for me, they must have picked up on it quickly.

This is what it did look like:

Bloggers have had a field day with the story, with some suggesting Microsoft was attempting to please all markets by having a man with both a white face and a black hand.

wow... read too much into it?

Ok, let's read a little further into their idea then.

The white face: Shows that the white man is the image, that everyone looks at
The black hand: suggests that the black, naturally being a lower class, does all the work.

Yeah... dosen't work does it? Maybe it's simply that there aren't many blacks in poland, and they didn't want to retake a photo? I don't see the issue.


...I wonder what would have happened if a black face had been pasted over a white dude...

Probably nothing at all DK.
