when I say "any of you", I am referring to you and the commenters on this article who share your horror about these images. I can understand your feelings. I have seen photographs of Lynchings that were uncomfortably like this. If the chocolate man were a stereotyped caricature of a black person, I would be equally outraged. But the hair and features are pretty obviously Caucasian, even though the color is brown because of the chocolate. My guess is that this a custom in some European country, probably in the Balkans, where there are almost no black people.

And yes, I confess, I have made gingerbread persons and Santa Claus cookies and eaten them. I hope I don't cancelled for that. The fact that you only think there is a problem with eating 5-6 foot tall Gingerbread men seems to indicate that you are prejudiced against short people.

The only reason I wouldn't eat a cookie that big is fear of indigestion.
