CellOne.... Racists?

Ill let you check this out for yourselves, make up your own minds.

If you go to this website:
http://www.cellularoneaz.com/VisionONE.htm

You will come upon a website for a Cellular One program called Vision One, which, for the most part, is geared towards native americans.

.

It looks like any other website at first look, but under closer scrutiny, one might be able to see a somewhat disturbing photo on the top left corner of the website.

View First Image

In the very first photo of this 3 photo series, one might notice an image of a person lying on a grassy area with no shoes. Does this look familiar? Is this a picture of a drunkard? Does it bear resemblance to anything you have seen before if you are from around the navajo reservation or any reservation for that matter? If so, what does and image of a drunkard lying in a park or grassy field have to do with cell phones?

I wonder if this is poking fun at native americans or just drunkards or is this both? What is "This is the Vision." supposed to mean?

I am going to contact Cellular One and ask them for a detailed picture of the image. If they cant produce one, i suppose the federal government will have to be contacted in some way since the Vision One program is a federally funded program. They might have a thing or two to say about a violation of racial discrimination and or Civil Rights. I suggest you do the same and try to contact Cellular One regarding the image at
http://www.cellularone.com/ContactUs.asp online or call toll-free 1-866-278-4802

What do you think?
