It was meant to be funny -- but no one is laughing now in the San Francisco 49ers' front office over an in-house training film that featured off- color racial jokes, lesbian porn, a spoof of gay marriage and a trio of buxom, topless blondes frolicking with team public relations director Kirk Reynolds.

The 15-minute video, some of which was filmed in the City Hall office of Mayor Gavin Newsom -- who comes in for a few unsubtle swipes -- was intended as a primer on how players should handle the media in diverse San Francisco.

Instead, it's turned into a team embarrassment -- with PR man Reynolds looking for another job.

1. You just can't make this stuff up

The real stuff is funnier than fiction.

2. frankly, I'm amazed and sorrowful for the asian instructor

who, joke or not, played a negative derisive racial stereotype.....bizarre.
what kind of self-esteem issues are going on there?

5. Saw it, jaw dropped...

And I said aloud, "What in all the thousand hells were they thinking?"
