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

    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.

    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…

    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. :)

      They have used the apostrophe correctly.

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

  15. 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…

    May 17th, 2008 at 17:32 | #17

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

    $79.99 seems a little pricey.

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

    oh wow, no, I saw one worse than this a few months ago. It said: Books and DVDs for kids’.

      They renamed it Kool Kolors Computer Desk – Classic Black.

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

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

      *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
