To me, this is by far the worst thing that has ever happened, ever, in human history.

Nah, I'm just being sarcastic.  Actually, I think the black guy in the first photo is old and creepy-looking.  Whereas the white replacement guy is young, dynamic, and Polish-looking.  I like him.  A lot.

When I was looking for the % of black people in poland the other day to see if I may want to move there someday I learned that 97% of poland is white. Maybe if you are selling a product to white people, you want to have irrelevant demographics not in your ads. What if every burger joint showed an indian family sitting down enjoying their happy meals? That wasn't a rhetorical question, It would just make me laugh.

I think it's more the sheer craptitude of the 'shop than anything else that's bugging folks.

You are absolutely right!! In an effort to create an advertisement that is more appealing to polish people, I have decided to create an ad that replaces all the irrelevant parts of the ad and replaces it with something polish people can actually relate to.

 here is my fixed ad:

 

Polish people love sausage right?

See? would replacing an african american with a nice sausage be offensive? Okay, maybe it is offensive, but I decided not to switch to ubuntu because of it.
