Its pretty funny. Is it racist or just stereotyping? Whats the difference anyway? In either case, he needs a car stereo with the wires hanging in his hand too :O

I didn't find anything funny about it...it is just plain stupid. Lacks any originality or thought...

Lets take obivious icons of negative stereotypes and slap them all over a manaquin...brilliant...just brilliant...side splittingly funny. Talk about appealing to the lowest common denomenator.
Are you black, brown, asian or white?
Although it aint the funniest thing i've seen, it is relatively amusing but so was the passed out white santa that I saw at xmas time... Take a pill and see the light hearted side of it. . . . . . Perhaps look at your quote and take a little bit of it's advice?

My ethniticity is not really important in this question. I just didn't find it funny, in any way. I mean, you can take stereotypes and do something with them that is funny...but this just wasn't funny in any way. You could do Asian Claus, take a picture with a bunch of Asian stereotypes and it would have been the same (or any "pick a group" Claus)...not funny.

Anyway...obiviously it is just my opinion...but I do agree with you on the last part...I certainly should take some of my own advise...amusment is never a bad option.
