Not the best picture for STORM

Nice little racist picture modeling off their new pink STORM breast cancer awareness shirts.

Those who can't bowl, bowl with two hands.

You know just how well we have it in this world when people have time to sit around and worry about  bad PR for a bowling ball company.  ::)

I agree :)

But, if people want bowling to be taken seriously, then their big commercial companies should behave as such.

I agree, I'll never be able to wear khakis again in good conscience.

What's even wrong about this picture? There's no evidence to suggest this guy hates or has a prejudice for Asian people. Get over yourself.

I'm inclined to say 'not racist'. As kids, we can remember seeing Bugs Bunny or Flinstone cartoons which went all in on the stereotypical Asian image. Did this guy go all in? Clearly 'no'.

I wonder what's more "racist".  The guy in the picture clowning around or the guy who cries "racist" at every non PC thing he sees or hears?  Where in the world does it say anything that this guy is wearing a shirt in honor of breast cancer awareness and this is a Storm approved picture?   Oh, it doesn't.  Talk about making assumptions.

Long Gone also posts the honest truth which is why i respect him. He posts these things knowing some may not like it.

 I think it shows a decidedly anti-christian theme.

 How DARE they show a demon in the upper left corner?

 I DEMAND the Christ be given equal time on display, else I get Westboro Baptist involved!

 Racist? I think not. Now, satanic? Looks it to me.

Not one person in this thread said they thought it was racist.  The point was that Storm should be careful what they post because if they don't, they will get ruckus crap like this.
