It's one of those talking cards, and it uses the phrase "Black Holes". The LA NAACP claim that it says "Black Whores" and are deeply offended. Hilarity ensues. (http://abclocal.go.com/kabc/story?section=news/local/los_angeles&id=7475737) Then hilarity explains itself in greater detail (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0P_XiYZl9k&feature=related) while failing to correctly pronounce or understand the meaning of the word "Ominous".
Also, at about the 3 minute mark, he calls someone an "asshole". You can trust me on this. I listened real hard.
I think the phrase "Black Hole" is now officially a racial slur, since this isn't the first time this has happened. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oc1zGRUPztc&feature=related)
ATTENTION DIPSHITS
There are real fucking racists out there, go harass them, and stop Lo5ing greeting cards.
This just keeps geting funnier.

This video is from Jasmyne Cannicks's Youtube channel. She is the first person to speak in this video.
Speechless.....
The card had already been out for about 3 years.
The whole thing is fucking stupid. If the NAACP is going to complain, they should complain about real racism, not a card/joke about space.

I love that they can't decide if it says hos or whores.
:facepalm: how can anyone be so stupid? That's embarrassing. The NAACP needs to smother itself with a pillow now.
Looks like they're taking a page from PETA's book.
If only Carl Sagan had been black, none of this would have happened.
LA NAACP needs to relocate to Arizona. There'd be all sorts of fun.

Nice.....
Sounds like the NAACP ran out of things to do.
ahhh the horrormirth :horrormirth:
I gotta admit, this is more on the mirth side than the horror. I love how worked up people can get about total nonsense. These people at these press conferences have to make a big deal about it to justify the amount of breath they've already spent on it. And they've illustrated that an accusation of racism does not need to be based on a racist comment anymore, you can be a racist for sounding like a racist to anybody.
wouldn't it be cool if "In This Economic Climate" sounded like a racist word?
What other words do people say that I hate?
I work for a textbook company, and we do have a list of topics we don't cover because they're too "controversial". Halloween, natural selection, etc. And in the coming years, a lot of really normal, inoffensive stuff is going to be added to that list. :lol:
Like Black Hoes, I presume.
Well Cramulus, I would say that it is an onnamus sign when we start leaving things out of textbooks.
omfg :lulz:
I really wonder if anybody ever did tell that guy how to pronounce ominous. And that it doesn't mean "evil".
What this is doing is costing the NAACP credibility they will need if they decide to make a stand on a real issue.

Dude is a planetist. Always has to be hating on the poor little planets like Pluto, just because they look and act a little different.

What are you, with Affirmative Planetary Action (APA)? The truth is, Pluto just can't do the job of a regular planet. Too small, and too far from the sun. We've got some major workhorses in this solar system, just look at Jupiter! Are you saying you think Pluto could do Jupiter's job? Sorry, but that little dwarf (yes I said it, so sue me; I bet you'd prefer "little planet", you politically correct asshole) is barely the size of Jupiter's smallest moons. It doesn't make the cut, would crack under the heavy gravitational stresses. Leave the big jobs to the planets who are qualified.
To be fair, Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet.
Just like Mercury through Mars are classified terrestrial planets.
I'm quite fond of the classification of ice giant. It amuses me.

Pluto is just out there trying to scrape by in this big Solar System. Why do you gotta be bringing him down? The Kuiper belt isn't showing any love. There's just no way for poor Pluto to make it there. But in Planetary System, there is opportunity. Pluto is just taking the revolution that the other planets won't take anyway. You don't see Mars lining up to make the big, unlevel trip around the Sun. Nobody else is gonna do it so let's just let the poor guy be. Who's he hurting?
I am offended by the offense.
