Spanish ballers make a boo-boo

Ouch. This is one of those times when you think, “Everyone needs an editor.”
I have a hard time believing that these guys actually have ill feelings toward the world’s Asians, specifically the Chinese Olympic hosts, but we can all agree this was a pretty bad idea.
I have to say this photograph is pretty insensitive. The photo was apparently published in a Spain’s La Marca, and I’m thinking it never should have been. This was an advertisement however, not a news photo, but the same standards [should] apply. Coming from a nation known for its intolerance (inquisition, Amerindian genocide, etc.), this wasn’t a very good PR move.
Thank God for the incredibly meek and humble Rafael Nadal and other Spanish bad asses who can make up for one slip up.
