Microsoft's recent racist gaffe, substituting a white guy's face for the original african american for their polish site
i don't know exactly, but this ad was originally Microsoft's, and one pic (in the Poland website, if I remember rightly) had a black guy in the middle, but they morphed the pic to remove the black guy's face in the US website. So there were cries of racism and all, and they pulled down the pic.
The microsoft screwup where they badly photoshopped a black guy as a white guy for polish ads.

Oi, is this parodying the Microsoft racism scam?
They had this promotional video for their website in which a black guy featured. All was well. :P
But, for the video promoting their Polish website, they replaced the black dude with a white guy. This, many people felt, was TNR and alleged that Microsoft was racist. Some hullabaloo ensued.
Microsoft's changing of a black dude to a white dude in their Polish website version of this pic, but leaving the hand colour unchanged.
And you thought Vista was their biggest mistake.
The ads parody a recent Microsoft ad that swapped a black man's face with that of a white man when advertising their product in Poland. However, the hand of the person whose face was swapped was left unaltered thus appealing to interracial consumers - Suchi & Dinesh.
