Exactly...it's clearly something that was lost in translation.
If it came from a furniture store located anywhere but on Dundas, I'd point the finger at the store for purchasing such an item, but if english is not their first language I can see how this might get overlooked.

The sofa was made OVER SEAS!!!!

In alot of countries there are no negetive conetations to the N - word wat so ever. Its just the term to discribe someone of that race.

Sure it might be offensive, but this is what you can get when you purchase products from other countries.

haha are you serious right now? there is a VERY big difference, it's CLEARLY a form of empowerment to reverse the (incredibly offensive) label.

being able to say the word "******" is a "perk of the language"? Honestly, your ignorance never ceases to amaze me.

Thus making them fobs, holy fuck get a grip!

Not really. They're both the same thing, and were both used to label Black slaves:

quote:

Negro means black in Spanish and Portuguese (Latin: niger = "black"). The term negro, literally meaning "black", was used by the Spanish and Portuguese to refer to dark-skinned people. From the 18th century to the mid-20th century, "negro" (later capitalized) was considered the correct and proper English word for slaves and freed slaves of sub-Saharan African origin.


So if you're Russian, just use "chernush" or "chernomazui" and you won't have to deal with any nasty slavery connotations. Plus those words are much more funny anyway, especially "chernush".

P.S.
quote:

The owner of Cosmos Furniture, Paul Kumar, no relation to Romesh, said he was upset to learn packing labels on products he sold carried a racial epithet.


LOL

Мертвая змея не шипит.
Не щебечет дохлый щегол.
Мертвый негр не идет играть в баскетбол.
Только мертвый негр не идет играть в баскетбол.

Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, ни за что ни про что.
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, ни за что ни про что суки замочили.

Руки сложив на живот
Третий день не ест и не пьет.
Негр лежит и хип-хоп танцевать не идет.
Только мертвый негр хип-хоп танцевать не идет.

Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, ни за что ни про что.
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, ни за что ни про что суки замочили

А мама осталась одна,
Мама привела колдуна.
Он ударил в там-тамы и Билли встал и пошел.
Даже мертвый негр услышал там-там и пошел.
Ну и что, что зомби?
Зато он встал и пошел.
Зомби тоже могут,
Могут играть в баскетбол.


Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, ни за что ни про что суки замочили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, убили негра
Убили негра, убили
Яй-яй-яй-яй-яй-яй, а потом воскресили Билли...


and if u wanan d/l it...
