Earlier on today I asked OK! Magazine if they thought that all black men looked alike, because they posted a story on their website about actor/director Noel Clarke, and then posted a photograph of UK rapper Kano to go with the article.
If you missed it then click here to take in the hilarity of it all.
Since then OK! have corrected their mistake and issued an apology to an annoyed Noel…. via TWITTER.
@noelclarke No excuses Noel. Our pic agency let us down but it should have been spotted. Name a charity, and we’ll all make an Xmas donation about 3 hours ago from web
Hands up. Epic fail on the Noel Clarke pic. Huge cock-up by a pic agency we use..but beatings will commence here at HQ shortly. Sorry Noel. about 3 hours ago from web
Oh dear… when your back is against the wall blame the picture agency – HA HA HA!
Noel Clarke is quite high profile, so the biggest joke is that these people work for a top showbiz publication, received the photograph of Kano, and not one staff member looked at it and said ‘hold on a minute that’s not Noel’.
Am I expected to believe that they had NEVER seen Noel’s face before???
Did they not tune in to Doctor Who?
This is just a latest example of the lack of attention/lack of respect high profile black celebrities receive in this fair land of ours.
This is truly HILARIOUS! *still shaking my head*
