Du Val Browner Photo Creates Controversy

It may be over a year before the 2014 Arizona gubernatorial election but things are already getting “interesting” between parties.

Last Thursday, in response to being named “the most uninteresting man in the world”by the Arizona Republican Party, Democrat gubernatorial nominee Fred DuVal released a photo of himself with darkened skin and an attire emulating Dos Equis’ Latino character dubbed “The Most Interesting Man in the World,” the Arizona Daily Independent reports.

Media outlets have described the doctored image as DuVal’s attempt to look “more Hispanic” while critics have labeled the jest a “racially motivated minstrel show.”

In a July 26 press release titled “Democrat Candidate Nominated ‘Most Uninteresting Man in the World,’” the Arizona Republican Party denounced the state’s Democratic party for being unable to “find candidates that people can relate to.”

DuVal responded almost a week later with another press release announcing he haddelivered a case of Dos Equis beer to Republican Chairman Robert Graham and Executive Director Chad Heyward with a “tongue-in-cheek thank-you card.”
