besides, its not like they were doing a pinching motion and talking about tiny peckers

the term 'oversensitive' comes to mind. folks need to chill on all the PC bull****. its making it desperately hard to make a joke anymore

Just like with a lot of things where we don't want to paint too broad a brush, I would like it be known that I'm also Asian, and I think this falls squarely into the "WTF were they thinking" category. I think it's insensitive and most of all, epic stupid.

How would people feel if the Olympics were being held in an African nation, and the players all decided to wear afro wigs, or be photographed in black face, mmm? Seriously, this is ridiculous. It's not like some of them were goofing around and just pulled their eyes back. This was an organized photo shoot for an advertisement and nobody said it was a bad idea?!
