Politically Incorrect

Don't get me wrong. I enjoy being as politically incorrect as the next person, but this picture even made me uneasy.

In case you haven't heard about this, the Spanish Olympic Men's Basketball Team was photographed for a Spanish ad for a courier service whilst they were all making...um...how does one say this delicately...while they were pulling the skin around their eyes outward, thus imitating Asian eyes.

Phew.

First of all, why would a courier service want to use the men's basketball team? Secondly, why would they want the basketball team to be making "Chinese" eyes, as it were?

Thirdly, why would these guys do it?

Don't the Spaniards know the Chinese have nuclear weapons and a population of over a billion people?

Do they have some kind of death wish?
