When did this happen? All of the Atari advertising is throwing me off.

2008 I think.. Infogrames changed their name to Atari and then went under a few years later. The track is Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and the first corner is still like that:

Second wave of Weinstein freude has started: people who have worked with him for decades now coming out and criticizing him and swearing that they had never heard any of the rumors about him and had *no idea* that he was a serial sexual abuser (Clooney, Streep, Kevin Smith); people whose job entails the regular mockery of scandals like this when it involves other people like Bill O'Reilly (Lorne Michaels, etc) being loudly silent all of a sudden; and this:

In a statement released Monday, Karan explained that she “made a statement that was not representative of how I feel or what I believe.”

I'm getting pretty fed up with fuckwits trying to weasel out of things this way. "Oh that thing that I did because I thought it was cool and good? Yeah well actually that doesn't represent what I did or how I think, even though I did it because I thought it was a cool and good thing to do."

If I ever get hauled before the judge, I'm going to instruct my defence to play the "These offences that Weatherman was caught on camera committing as numerous eyewitnesses heard him scream out his justifications for doing so are in no way representative of how he acts or what he believes, and therefore he should be set free with absolutely no consequences" card.

Guess I'll need to make sure Donna Karan and that neo-nazi "terrorise black people and then deny it was really 'me'" woman are on the jury though.

My favorite is when someone's private conversation gets leaked and they say "those who know me know that that's not who I am" like, those comments are probably the most accurate version of who you are, it's the poo poo you said when you weren't worried about your public perception.

It seems according to her Dove did nothing wrong, it's the public taking it out of context that is making it racist.

I think she has a strong case for that with the ad going black woman > white woman > another woman > another woman > another woman (I didn't actually see the entire thing). If you only see the first change, you think it is racist as hell. It's definitely the kind of thing you don't want to turn into a YouTube ad that you can skip after 4 seconds. It's the kind of thing the internet was always going to be taking out of context, both deliberately and unintentional.

The product was literally labelled "For Normal To Dark Skin." On top of that Dove's parent company Unilever makes absolute poo poo-tons of money selling skin lighteners/whiteners in places like Asia, perpetuating dark = bad, white = good.
