Seriously misjudged this mind. Have been talking about it elsewhere. This will have been passed through a large amount of people, and not one of them realized that many many people would find it offensive?!

It's probably a combination of people just not seeing it because they don't think racist thoughts (i wouldn't really have made the connection), and everyone looking at it from a "picture quality" perspective, only seeing that they chose the best shot, that whatever airbrushing they wanted to do was done right, etc.

But surely someone who looked over this (many people will have been involved) would know the racist connections to monkey and black people. Its not exactly little known.
