    I'm surprised eBay allows something like this. It's not really funny nor does it make any point intelligently.

    Wow, is that sick humor or just plain old hateful racism?

    Its not really a actual ebay item, it's a fake but still very disturbing.

    Looks like a bad Halloween costume ad. Not that I've got anything against catalog girls...

    I think that is exactly what it is, but it served my purposes.

    Man, y'all need to lighten up. It's just a joke.

    If the slave was a Hispanic whose vocabulary was "Sit", "Make me tacos", and "Put down my TV", I wouldn't be offended.

    But I'll stop before this turns into a D&D thread.

    That's no joke. That's racism at its worst.

    It was a joke, and it is also very rude.

    I don't know why people get so upset over racial humor.

    Stereotypes and racism are fairly harmless, as far as humor is concerned.

    When racism is used to deny jobs or education or basic rights to citizens, then I could see where it's a problem.

    But not when someone is "selling" a nonexistent person over the internet. Who does that hurt?

    I think drunk, casino-owning Native Americans, camera-laden, tourist Asians with poor driving skills, ebonics-speaking blacks with a taste for fried chicken, construction worker Hispanics with 12 children, and loud, ignorant, drunken Irishmen are all fair play.

    Again, just lighten up. Humor should know no bounds. Next, people will be telling you what books to read or not read, or what tv shows are ok to watch or not watch.

    Censorship never works for long, and if you try to keep people from joking about a certain issue, you only add to the forbidden allure of joking about that issue.

    This was actually pretty damn funny.

    Poor taste? Sure.

    But still funny.

    I was watching my favorite movie Airplane! the other day and when the "jive talk" segment came on, I thought to myself that something like that would never go over in todays world. I'm not saying that's right or wrong, just interesting.

    Then again, that movie Soul Plane is getting some heat for some of the same reasons I believe.
