Underestimating The Internet

Here is a picture of Spain's basketball team for an advertisment they did, for a Spanish courier company (before setting off to the Beijing Olympics), and it appeared in the Spanish-language newspaper La Marca.



This picture evidently shows the entire basketball team holding the sides of their eyes to make their eyes slant like that of the Chinese. It seems they have underestimated the power of the internet and thought the picture only would appear in Spain.

As of the moment, Spain has not issued any apolologies for the said pose, but defending their players and it has been upseting a lot of Chinese people. Their basketball game was booed loudly by the Chinese crowd to show their disgust over a racist picture.
