I’m offended.

For the record, Adidas, I’m offended. That looks like Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

  1. Reminds me of when Jerry Blank drew a “Chinaman” in art class in “Strangers With Candy” – yeah it’s offensive. Maybe in its original context it was ok as an anti-rascism image, as Adidas state, but they took away the context.

  2. I’m also amused/irritated that the shoe is called “Yellow Series.” It’s a black shoe. What else are we supposed to think?

  3. Gack, that makes it so much worse. Morons.

This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
