racist glaceau phone greeting

Call this number: (718) 746-0087. It's for Glaceau, maker of drinking water products ("Hydrate responsibly.") On the other end, you'll get their voicemail system, narrated by some dude with a horribly fake Asian accent, doing kung fu schtick. I'm not kidding. Are they trying to be cute? Clever? Completely unnecessary and ridiculously offensive. That's racist! Conveniently, now you've got their number, and can hopefully get someone on the line to tell them exactly how you feel about it...

UPDATE: The greeting has been changed. No more bad Asian accent, just some bored woman reading badly off a script. Guess they got the message. I hope the guy who came up with that original greeting got fired, but that's probably just wishful thinking...
