We found this print ad for Toshiba’s Smartcard technology in a recent business mag. It features a white executive and a bespectacled Indian IT guy holding the lead on a big dog.
The header copy reads, “Finance & IT: Working Together to Keep the Bad Guys Out.”
Supporting text describes how execs will love Smartcard technology because it maintains data integrity and exceeds gov mandates for controlling access. And IT will love it because it “ensures user authentication with an ID card.” (We know we get a thrill every time we’re digi-frisked.)
Sooo. Is it racist, bad product positioning or right on the (executive!) money?
