While I agree this is a Photoshop disaster, I wonder if it would still be a "racism row" if they had simply replaced the black model with a white model during the shoot. Same thing, really, just a different method. After all, this is advertising, not photojournalism. Advertising is basically the construction of different realities, anyway. Wether they do it with models or with photoshop makes little difference to me.

Still pretty boneheaded though.
