Follow-up to this post featuring a black model. via CME:
"It all started as an April Fool's joke...
We were actually wondering what would happen if a small innovator like CME cloned a clone.
Simply raising the question of what innovation is all about.
A good joke often hurts a little. It was in no way our intention to offend anyone. Not a company. And certainly not a person.
Next time we will think of other creative ways to get your attention. No worries about that.
That said, the number of responses we got was staggering.
Apparently, innovation is not only about new technology, but also about offering existing solutions at an attractive price.
That got us thinking. Should we make this practical joke a reality?
Actually, this all depends on you. That's why we ask you to participate.

Probably best to wait until April 1st to post any info about a "product" if you are then going to claim it is an April Fools joke. This seems a less than honest claim in hindsight.
