I may have the distinction of being the very first idiot to try this ploy. I did graphics for an engineering company. We had an early image manipulation program in the late 80s, pre-Photoshop. We got all done putting together a training program and realized there were no persons of color in it. So I Africanized somebody (my boss, as it happens, who was photographed as a character in the program).

Everyone was horrified and made me extra-double-super delete the image and swear I wouldn't tell anyone -- but nobody could tell me what exactly the problem was (it wasn't a caricature or anything; my boss made a handsome enough brother).
