Did you actually make that? Wow, that's really good.

Lol thanks.

I had to remake the background without the guy there and then place the perfectly posed spartan over the table :)

Removing the guy and making a fake background also helps if you plan on making another mock up in the future when bored lol. I'll post it here incase someone else wants to do a Photoshop.

Rough Job but it works.

My opinion: This whole topic is a joke. Nobody would care if a white mans face got replaced with a black man's face. My step-dad is black/british and he doesn't give a crap, neither would his brothers. Unfortunately there are a few idiots out there that purposely look for racism in the simplest things.

actually it's the other way around, they banned the black guy and replace it with a white guy, and the photoshop it's so bad they leave the black guy hand.

it's hilarious! haha.

I know lol. What I'm saying is no white person would care if a white guys face was replaced with a black guys face unless of course they're a complete bigot. Then I said my black step-dad and his brothers couldn't give a damn about someone photoshopping a white mans face onto a black guy.

It's a silly thing to call racist. I see where Microsoft are coming from. They are aiming for the Polish Ethnic group and there are very little black people in Poland.

 Really they should of re shot the photo but due to time constraints and budget some Photoshop noob did a quick 5 minute job. Microsoft might not have even ordered the Photoshop but some people like to cut corners when under pressure.
