I hate racist and any type of discrimination. I know what type of magazine FHM is but this was unexpected from them. They did already recalled this issue but still what's the purpose of having different teams working on this mag if they let this slip out? Don't tell me that not even one of them realized how racist their cover was.
"Stepping out of the Shadow" and that shadow are the dark skinned models? Obviously there's no other interpretation for that tagline with such photo. Many people are outraged with this no matter what their purpose was. Grrrrr.....

I hear they are retracting the cover and putting something else for the magazine that will hit the stands this month.
I think this is just a huge oversight. I don't think they've realized the implications of the photo, they were just blindly running after a concept.

Yea I agree I think they didn't mean for it to come across as racist or anything of the sort. at least they are retracting it and working on something different. just an oversight on their part.
