Don't make me laugh ... bitterly.

Here is an actual comparison between English and Polish versions of a Microsoft site as reported by Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2009/08/25/...s-at-photoshop/) ..



So I'm wondering .. how would they alter their stock photo for OTHER markets. Here's one I made for the ever-exciting Doodle-Beast market.



Now share your own!

I'll go out on a limb and say doodle-beasts are beasts created through mindless doodling.

5 seconds of google.

quote:

Before World War II, over 30% of the people living within the boundaries of Poland were non-Poles. As a result of World War II, and of the boundary changes and population transfers that followed, Poland today is a predominantly homogeneous state with only about 2% of the population being non-Polish. According to the most recent estimates, Poles constitute 97.6% of the total population; Germans make up 1.3%; Ukrainians account for 0.6%; and Belarussians, 0.5%.

Because they're good at computers.

Not only that, but I know a couple of Polish people, and, while they're not necessarily racist, their perceptions of black people have been heavily influenced by certain negative aspects of urban culture.

I'm assuming a typical Polish reaction to seeing that photo on the Microsoft website would go a little something like this:
To wygląda zakupionych. Mogę powiedzieć z niektórych pikseli i widzieli sporo sklepów w mój czasie. (Google translate should be able to get you the important bits)

Why do people keep talking about the hand?

The black man wasn't extremely dark-skinned, nor is the white man extremely fair-skinned. Both people could easily have a hand that color.

I think the fact that his head is magically lit from a different direction more noticeable.

Yeahh I noticed that--it looks like half his hand is one race and then right around the wrist it switches.

Also, this: (this is my first attempt at photo-manipulation of any kind. i'm not sure why i did this, but i made it for shits and giggles and then my brother saw it and cracked up so i figured i'd post it)
