Now software hates black people
I meant to put this up when it came out about three weeks ago, but I forgot.
Then I was reminded of it when I read an article about customer recommendations and took the opportunity to pass on the knowledge since I hate Wal-Mart so dearly.
It turns out that Wal-Mart's customer recommendation program suggested the "Planet of the Apes" to those who looked at DVD's of African-American icons such as MLK, Jack Johnson and Tina Turner.
And people wonder why Wal-Mart has an image problem.
oh boy, I remember when that came out. I don't know how high-tech it is, but it's definitely hard-core racist. Add this to the end of the LONG list of reasons to not like Wal-mart.
