News Groper Debuts Featuring Funny Colored People

As various minor figures in the world of blogging can tell you, I don't have a sense of humor.  So when I saw that, despite a long list of white celebrities, News Groper is featuring certain celebrities of color on their homepage on launch day, I didn't laugh.

News Groper's overall concept is brilliant so that leaves execution.  Though I'm sure that they'll be making fun of everybody, or will say they are, just seeing Barack Obama, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad [president of Iran] and Flavor Flav as the featured "bloggers" makes me wonder what's up.

Update:
Ok, it looks like they're rotating images at the top of the page, just rather slowly.  Rather than an attack on people of color, it could almost better be described as an attack on Obama, who's now sandwiched between the President of Iran and Fred Thompson.  Talk about guilt by association.  That's even worse than Flavor Flav!

Update 2:
Yeah, it looks like the juxtaposition thing will work itself out over time.  Which is good.  Now they really only have to be funny.
