What's wrong with this world today.

I don't think he ment offense, but just relating to the Don Imus fiasco.

When calling her a nappy headed hoe is considered just as offensive as the packaging label, I have to agree.

It would have been funnier if they would have ended TEH ENN word with -a instead of -er.

I withdraw my statement, clearly I'm not up on "racial slur gossip" and took your thread title as offensive.

I'm surprised the Don Imus comments haven't sparked a 10-page thread already.

Crazy stuff about the couch though. I wish I knew the story behind it.

No, that's where we're going. Without an inflight movie, either.

That label is an example of some Chinese company trying to market to North America without doing anywhere near the necessary market research. Now they'd probably get really ticked off if I sold something in Guangzhou that I called "Chink Yellow," but it doesn't seem that there's any sort of understanding that there's a specific culture involved in a market. with all sorts of facts and issues to understand before you start selling.

This started off fine but really has nowhere positive to go.

That's effed up about the couch.

As for Imus- really the whole conversation was disgusting. Him and the other dude.

Seems like people like to get riled up about anything now days. So the couch from a different country had the word n****r on it when listing the color... big deal! Wow, I hope they start some street protests or something.

edit: they star out the N word but not the f word on all occassions? add this forum to the list of messed up areas in the world.

The world is just the same as it has been for a long time.
Thanks to the media, the internet (bloggers), cell phones, and other technology it's just "out in the open" more than it was 10 years ago.

If we exported couches from the U.S. with CHINKY YELLOW on it, that would be a hit I'm sure. Seriously: that's hilariously awful that they called the couch n****r brown.

edit: where do you come from where it's okay to just say the N word all willy-nilly and care-free?? This forum is messed up because it blocks out that word? There's kids here, jeezus.
