The stupidity of humanity shouldn't amaze me any longer. Apparently, the Spanish basketball team didn't realize that if they made their eyes look slanted that Asians the world over (and currently the host nation for the sporting events that nobody watches) were offended.
Excerpt:
Jose Calderon of the Toronto Raptors has spent the last three years in North America, but he didn’t get it. He could still not understand how an action with such deep racial undertones had generated so much attention. In his mind a non-story became a story only when it was blown out of proportion by journalists with a mind for mischief.
“We did it because we thought it was going to be something nice, something with no problem,” Calderon told Yahoo! Sports. “But somebody wants to talk about it. It is too much of a big deal with you guys (the media) and everybody talking about that.”
Head coach Aíto García Reneses didn’t get it, either. Reneses comes from an older generation of Spanish society, one which has little time for the politically correct niceties of the modern world.
“If I go to play with a taller team and I put here (raising up on the tips of his toes) it is not an offense,” Reneses said. “I can’t understand anything more.”
But Gasol got it. He didn’t get it when the Spanish courier company persuaded the players to pose with their index fingers stretching their eyes to a thin slit at a team media day, but he sure as heck gets it now.
“Some of us didn’t feel comfortable doing it just because to me it was a little clownish for our part to be doing that,” Gasol said. “But the sponsors insisted and insisted. I think it is just a bad idea I guess to do that, but it was never intended to be offensive or racist against anybody.
“I didn’t find it very funny. I didn’t find it offensive, either. I guess some guys didn’t mind. To me I don’t want to be that way, I guess, to be doing that stuff.
“If anybody feels offended by it we totally apologize for it. We never meant anything offensive by it.” Yo, click it

We'll have to agree to disagree, because I've met several Mexicans.

You haven't seen the real Barcelona, SZR.
If you aren't traveling Europe with money, you might as well save a few bucks and go to Epcot for your international experience.

FD!
Ive been in meetings all day, but did catch wind of this and if, IF its legit (We'll know Friday), then well, a big fat "I told ya" to some.
The only thing making me think it has a CHANCE of being legit is that Lauren COleman has in fact gave it a preliminary endorsement.
He's a well respected anthropologist and author (Bigfoot: America's Great Ape) who really feels as i do that its just a filthy ape (get your damned hands off me!~) in N.America, and diferent regiosn support their own varietys of what most would just call "BIGFFOT".
Guess we'll find out Friday.

Other theories:
Demon used to dissuade Xtians from believing in creationism, as in "a real live missing link- so THERE! Evolution is the real deal"--- all this purpetrated by Satan himself.
No, really.
Others attribute a supernatural element to him- that of an alien (Supposedly many UFO sitings coincide with many Sasquatch ones)
Ghosts or other supernatural spirits of the woods (Many Native American tribes)
or actual people, an entire race of them, who dwell in the woods (Other native american tribes)
Its a friggin APE.
There's too much support to say 'it doesnt exist' and if youve come around to saying "it exists" then what the eff else can it BE?!
Its not a demon or an Alien or Jon Runyan on a hike, so its an effin strain of Ape!

what evidence? i'm seriously asking. has anyone, ever, found bones or other remains? not to my knowledge. i thought the main evidence was still that hokey home video from the sixties.
"phil, we can see your wristwatch"

Flesh, they just found a body a few days ago. I'm not buying it until I really get to see it, but that would be pretty solid evidence.

Jon Runyan on a hike
I still sudscribe to that theory. A 6'9" 340 lb. humanoid who cannot be injured, plays well into his mid-30's, and has unruly tricep hair...sounds like bigfoot to me.
