For what it’s worth, the Master-Seeker programmer is a 33 year old from Belgium, and the alternate Master-Seeker website is in Hebrew. Are sensibilities different over there perhaps - just asking? He says he programs “for fun”. Master-Seeker is free and if you use it, you’re not putting any money in his pocket.

There’s a link to that Facebook page from the home page for the software, so presumably so.

I’d be surprised if the implication of that Facebook “ad” is any different “over there” than in the U.S., where I live. If the author does have a Jewish background, that would only make it more pathetic.

OMG! I have to admit I laughed out loud when I saw the FB ad, and even now, again, when I just think of that photo, and I could of course give some information about pc in Europe, and also about which way “color” or other (for the time being) “minority” issues here are treated, but this is a very sensitive subject where facts and acceptable speech even more divert than in the outliner world, so I won’t touch this.
Just let me say that many people are able to savour a real good joke even if on a blatant first-degree level, it’s on “them”/their respective “group”... but if then, it’s a real good one, and real good this one certainly is! (Of course, Frau Alice “Emma” Schwarzer (no pun intended, that’s just her name) would vigorously deny this fact, as would Andrea Dworkin, were she alive.)

It’s “Sweet Brown” (aka Kimberly Wilkins), who has become an Internet meme. She has over 32 million views on Youtube and apparently she’s suing Apple for $15 million for copyright infringement, after her news interview was remixed as a song and sold on iTunes.
The joke seems to be about her way of expression, which seems to be partly a function of her social class, cultural background, race, and her personality. I guess people can decide for themselves whether they find her interview funny; though it’s clearly a loaded issue, and you could ask yourself what you are laughing at exactly…
As for the MasterSeeker guy, he seems to have jumped on the meme bandwagon, as millions of others. Ms. Wilkins’s lawyers may soon be in touch with him… :)

Indeed. I was ignorant of the meme. I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out what’s driving it or the similar one with Charles Ramsey, at least for some.
