Philosophy and philology is my game.

Well, I first noticed the problem back in the Christmas season, but I have to say I completely forgot to point it out! So here I go:

People may or may not remember the scandelous racist advertisement from - you've guessed it - America's finest IT c*ck-up corporation (clue's in the title).
In short, an advert by Microsoft, which was released for the Polish public had been slightly 'photoshopped' to better represent the Eastern European demograpic. Look closely at the hands on the latter figure in the middle of the image. Whereas some militant folk got really worked-up over this, I found the 'grievous attempt at inter-racial harmonic symbolism' to be outrageously funny.

If you're not keen on reading beyond the first paragraph because you think you need to be either politically savvy or hopelessly intollerant of racial slander(therefore a un-godly -blam!- by my definition), then hold-on, because this is funny!

Keeping this mistake, made by some employee of Microsoft, and as the 'BungieBox 1080' is still to be desired [IMPUT_NON_EXISTANT_[QUOTATION]THANK GOD LOL[QUOTATION]), which means that the Halo titles are still being formatted as XBox releases, the mistake was made a second time! And only a month after the first!

Romeo's character on Firefight has the best gear on any of the ODST team (goofy night vision goggles ftw!), but his head and voice was clearly just copied and pasted onto an allready existing caucasian model, as his hands look almost indefinately white!
Thats hillarious by my account. 1,2,3... and nobody cares (right decision).
