Spanish basketball team poses for offensive picture - Fourth-Place Medal - Olympics - Yahoo! Sports

So I log in to Yahoo this morning and see this story on the front page...

I can't seem to come up with an answer on why the hell they would do something like that.

Anyways....I just HAD to see what you Zilvians thought about it....

jackjack · 08-13-2008, 09:44 AM

aahahahahahhahaahhaahha

damn

thats funny

but obviously wrong at the same time

**ThatGuy** · 08-13-2008, 09:47 AM

I'd say it's pretty screwed up in my opinion.

Not a good way to ambassador your country.

I find no humor in this.

LeftNutOfGowd · 08-13-2008, 09:48 AM

WTF god people these dame i feel so ashamed

stiizy · 08-13-2008, 09:50 AM

Guess people have no shame..

k's_silvia2.0 · 08-13-2008, 09:53 AM

Unholy S14 · 08-13-2008, 09:56 AM

Team Aero-K · 08-13-2008, 09:58 AM

this world is all fucked up at the moment!

Brian · 08-13-2008, 10:26 AM

If an asian person came here to USA and used their fingers to make their eyes real big and round, I'd laugh and probably give them a high five.

^For reals that would be the shit!

ravinaziankid · 08-13-2008, 10:40 AM

I think that's pretty racist and immature. I used to get that back in elementary school, that's how immature and stupid that country is huh. Way to represent your country spain.

HyperTek · 08-13-2008, 10:47 AM

they probably didnt realise it to be offensive, just trying to imitate asian eyes as a signature that the pic was for the olympics in Beijing. It probably wasnt the players ideas maybe the guy taking the photos etc..

I really dont think the country or team should be held accountable for it.
its not like they are saying "f china" or something like using their middle fingers, this is just one pic.

gprb25 · 08-13-2008, 11:13 AM

Yeah i definately see they didnt think it all the way through. I don't think they thought there was going to be this much publicity.

Its a stupid, immature move on their part...

Mr.S14 · 08-13-2008, 11:26 AM

well for me two possibilities
1)they are slanting their eyes
2)pointing to there eyes
either way its stupid

Antihero983 · 08-13-2008, 11:29 AM

oh who fucking cares.

oh nooooo humooorrrr why god why?!

oh wait. its racial. so of course people cant just get the fuck over it.

shade · 08-13-2008, 11:33 AM

I've been trying to find that commercial since this morning. Anyone find it? I think it was a commercial... This whole shit is about publicity, they knew they were going to get something like this.

Edit: It said commercial this morning.. I guess its just an ad then.

Dousan_PG · 08-13-2008, 11:38 AM

Yeah, seriously.

WTF is with this over sensitive shit?!

Fuck American political correctness. People always think someone is out to get them, or hurt their feellings.

I'm half chinese and I don't give a FUCK.

WHO CARES. (That's a declarative statement, not a question.)

Brian · 08-13-2008, 11:48 AM

Political Correctness is getting WAY TOO out of hand.

aziankingz · 08-13-2008, 11:48 AM

YoungGun · 08-13-2008, 11:52 AM

Funny no, offensive? Not unless your trying really hard to be offended. Just plain stupid? Yup, in a nutshell. Will China choose to make a big deal about it? Probably LOL.
In the end its not racist its lame, but whats even lamer is there is a thread about it. HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Unholy S14 · 08-13-2008, 11:56 AM

Okinawandrifter87 · 08-13-2008, 11:57 AM
