So ... do you think that someone over yonder at MSNBC might have lost their job over this one?

The ridiculous thing is that, of course, the two words are one and the same -- just took on slightly different forms in different languages, but both mean simply "black". I'm surprised the PC crowd hasn't mounted a campaign to get Nigeria to change its name.

Well, one engineer I work with CAN belly laugh... sort of like Santa Claus... in fact, exactly like Santa Claus...

[xsmommy]

Here is a pic of NIGER Innes with one of our own, SUUSA, at CPAC. He's a good guy. :-)

[Chad Fairbanks]

I got to meet him once, he's one of the good guys for sure...

[WhyisaTexasgirlinPA]

You work with Santa Claus?????

[alnick]

Good point. Just a couple of weeks ago a plaque for James Earl Jones was inscribed to James Earl Ray, and *that* was all over the news.

This is an equally offensive "mistake." Wonder who, besides Fox, will pick it up.

OMG -- that's the funniest thing I've ever seen in my whole life...I can't wait to email those to everyone I know.

Curios George eats a bunny.....LOL

[Chad Fairbanks]

Well, if he had a red suit... and reindeer... and a house at the north pole... and elves... then he would be Santa Claus...

Someone should lose their job over this! Mistake, my foot!

I don't have any idea what the ethnic lineage of the perpetrator was, but I agree with the rest of you post.

There are so many checks and balances in the television industry, something like this doesn't occur by accident.

Can you imagine the repurcussions of a bi-line that introduced Fat Albert as Al Charleton?

The posterior kissing would be wet and constant. There would be at least one token employee fired immediately and a cash settlement.

But then Sharpton is a liberal media darling.

Hey, at least Chad gave you something to explain you rolling on the floor laughing to hubby...

Your comments reminded me of a poster that was done by Baltimore for one of its City Fairs. The cartoon poster was chock-a-block with images of booths, rides, neighborhood booths, etc. In the middle ground was a carousel.

If you examined it REAL close, one of the "riders" on the carousel was NOT riding a wooden animal. He was riding a WOMAN.

The poster was recalled -- though copies of the original poster are to this day collectors' items -- and the Vice President of the ad agency that created the poster resigned and apologized.

And, don't get me started on the cover for a brochure produced by the shop where I worked, that when viewed from 20 feet away, said "F*CK." We caught that before it went out, ripped all the covers off, redesigned them, reprinted them, and sent them out to the client.

Wow...I wish I worked with Santa Claus.....lol

He is. I had no idea he was there for the big Geraldo fight. I'm REALLY impressed. I like him and I like the way he laughs stuff off!

"Niger was polite and said it happens quite frequently? "

I LOVE this guy- He must have one great sense of humor!

KUDOS Mr. Innis! Thanks for being one of us (conservative!)

[RightOnline]

ROFL...........it's "Niger", as in the Niger River, or as in "Nigeria". GREAT guy; extremely down-to-earth. I'm bettin' he's laughing HIS a** off at the MSNBC twits over this one......(dude has a terrific sense of irony AND humor)..........:)

[EternalVigilance]

I'm REALLY impressed. I like him and I like the way he laughs stuff off!

But...but...Niger and his Dad supported...::gasp::...ALAN KEYES in the Republican primaries!!
