I agree. I don't think the phatgirl page has much to do with race. Nor, for that matter, do I feel the Yankees ad have much to do with race, although I imagine that it is yet another example of it still being okay to make fun of Asians in the media. As for the act of putting out the ad, I also think it was bad taste on the Blue Jays to put out such an ad. However, since when were professional sports teams tactful? In fact, on the grand list of larcenies that pro sports teams perpetuate on a daily basis, this is surely just a minor detail. It is ridiculous that this ad (which I found humorous by the way as it also depicted bird shat on the beloved yankees cap) generates far more attention (on this blog, in the media, wherever) than say, the idea that pro sports owners can hold the fans for ransom and threaten to move their teams where-ever they want, an act that incidentally, for all you Yankee lovers out there, that the Bronx Bombers have tried repeatedly to do under Steinbrenner.
