This would be funny if it didn't make the front office sound like the most destructive part of the organization.

Edit:
 
OK.  As a faithful Gridironette Site Reporter, I just clicked on the above link, clicked on the link to watch the video, and went through the download to get the new Real Player required to watch the 8 parts the video is broken into.  (Yeah, it felt like it took longer than that sentence.)
 
Know what?  The thing was very funny, and the media over reacted big time (unless they chopped it up, and they did blur a lot of things).
 
The real story (the ONLY story) is at the bottom of the article you get to from the above link.  Back-stabbing politics from the accused, or back-stabbing politics from the accuser.  Who knows.  Who cares.  That place is a mess.
 
But the VIDEO is pretty funny!  
 
 
2nd and Final Edit:
 
For the benefit of the media:
 
IT'S IRONY, YOU MORONS!  AN IRONIC JOKE!  GET IT?
Guess not.

I checked out the few segments of the video on the SF Chronicle's website last night and I have to admit it was hilarious.  I certainly understand the negative response it is getting, but if the same exact stuff was on SNL or some comedy central skit show it wouldn't get any flak at all.  The bit with the Chinese newspaper was classic.

That's actually the part that is taking the most flak.  I haven't seen it, but they say it's pretty racist.  Last night Bill O'Reilly, a rather conservative chap, was saying it was pretty bad. I don't know...  But, just from the very brief clips I saw of that part, I do not think I'd want my wife to see it and she's totally cool with that kind of stuff.

The backlash from the Chinese community...  From another LOCAL source on "The REAL Feed":
 
Chinese Americans meet York, voice their concerns
The Sacramento Bee: Sports (15.06.2005 12:57)
SAN FRANCISCO - John York got an earful Tuesday from this city's Chinese-American community, which told the 49ers owner that every hurtful stereotype it believed had been put to rest was reawakened by the NFL team's now-infamous training video.
