I bet the person who wrote that ad copy is making big (black) bucks!

 
Comment by spinachflame

I love that it’s a desk on wheels. So they can wheel it out the door when the inner city school closes. I’m in D.C. I’m cynical.

Philosophical note: could this be considered racism? Making products tailored to ethnic groups isn’t a new phenomenon (hair care products for people with Afro-Caribbean hair), so this could have been intentionally posted.

By a massive idiot.

I’ll bet they were pissed when the internet stole their desk.

 
Comment by Lisa

That has got to be the funniest one. I am bringing this picture to school tomorrow, the black kids are always complaining they get singled out…

 
Comment by raquel

Wow, I was actually really confused at first, because I simply can’t imagine how someone doesn’t know how use apostrophes correctly. This is very funny though. :)

Comment by Louise F. Rhodes

They have used the apostrophe correctly.

Black Kid’s Computer Desk = a computer desk that’s black and is for kids.

 
 
Comment by Ben

The apostrophe is fine. The product name is harmless, as long as you’re not looking for racism.

Apparently, we are, so we find it funny.

Maybe they should have tried “Kid’s Computer Desk - Black”

For clarity’s sake…

 
Comment by Ben

It would have been more comical if it was “Black Kids’ Computer Desk”

 
Comment by Caitlin

$79.99 seems a little pricey.

Comment by Z

The white kid’s computer desk is only 19.99 and looks exactly the same. XD

 
 
Comment by lydia

Comment by Leah

Comment by Extramrdo

For kids’ native country? Sure, because THIS IS SPARTAAA!!!!!

Comment by Keelhaul

So does it come with optional 20″ spinners and fifteen “pinetree” air fresheners???? My homeboy has one with a “Continiental package”.

They renamed it Kool Kolors Computer Desk - Classic Black.

Would be funny if the changed the “c” to a “k” in “computer.”

 
Comment by sarcastress

OMG, that’s so much worse! Black kids will never buy it now.

Comment by M

I was reading this book and was reminded of the above desk: “[Mortenson] then opened a mall black student’s notebook…”

Comment by M

*small, not mall.

I apologize; my keyboard has a habit of skipping the first letter in a word (don’t ask) and I guess I didn’t notice the error when I posted the comment. :P

Comment by Dork

I can’t stop laughing at the ad and the comments. I am crying of laughter as well….Not only is it for black kids, but it’s leaning to one side….
