I will sure show you some arrested development before showing you some arresting performanceThis is reported from the Guardian and sighted on various sports blogs. It's disturbing to see that the photograph can be taken and run as an advertisement for a courier company and finally got the OKAY to appear in some best-selling newspaper. I guess there is simply no political correctness in Spain. Or people are just gleefully insensitive to racial stereotyping.
Yeah you'd think that the Spanish would have some ounce of sense in their heads. But given how they've routinely and blatantly racially abuse ethnic minority players in all kinds of sports, perhaps it's not too unexpected. But it's rather uncongruous with the people I've met when I visited Madrid or Barcelona. Mind you, the British football hooligans are not that much better - they just wouldn't have been selected to pose for a full-page ad campaign.
