KFC ad labelled 'racist' by US commentators

Sorry USA folks, but you're only a tiny fraction of the world. The rest of us don't have your hang-ups, nor do we want them. If you folks have a problem with the idea of black people eating fried chicken, big fucking deal; it has nothing to do with the rest of the world.

Perhaps a small part, but definitely the best part!

Is this another "Hate America" thread? I thought SAM had been banned for a while?

No, it's a "Hate whining retards who think we should all have the same hang-ups" thread. I mean, they seem to want people outside that country to give a shit about a cultural problem they have within that country, something based on their own history of problems. Nothing to do with the rest of us.

 

And just who asked you?? It sure wasn't me - and I have no problems with anyone eating anything they want to. So why does it matter to anyone what YOU think????

The people who poked there nose in from around the planet to try telling Australians what they can and can't have in Australian advertisements.

 

WHAT people are you raving about? First I ever heard of any such thing.

 

Thats probably just because some people love to critisice, but hate to be critisiced.

 

Or you could just watch the news now and then.

 

Actually, I don't see anything racist about it. Unless...those who took part in the commercial felt offended at the prospect of eating fried chicken for a KFC commercial?

What is racist and what is not racist? Where do we draw the line? Will it soon be illegal to notice that someone has darker skin, or lighter skin? Is it racist to notice that someone is of a different ethnicity? Why is it considered as such?

So, white people can't paint their faces black to make a parody of the Jackson's because that's racist? Isn't it racist to presume that because those who made the parody were actually white, and just imitated the Jackson's who's skin colour happens to be brown/black? Isn't that racist, too? If anyone was being racist then it was those who complained about the ad because their complaint is based on the notion that because the winner in the ad was a white dude surrounded by blacks, and because he is white it MUST be racist.

 

From the article:

African American's don't eat fried chicken?

It seems that the black community are torn between fighting against perceived racial stereotyping on the one hand and frustration that KFC aren't giving them all the chicken they promised on the other!

Hilarious.

 

so where are these US people complaining? On youtube? 12 yr olds can post on you tube and say they are from the US. Hell, you can!

 

10.2 million coupons? wtf?

controversy is a good marketing tool.

 

Tell that to Tiger Woods

 

Fuck America! They're the opposing team! It's not to be racist! And it's not fucking aired in your country now is it!!?!?!?!

 

Never heard of the situation. Don't really care about the situation.

Even BETTER, is how brilliantly you attempt to make the US members of this forum somehow feel bad for what a pundit (or two) on this side of the pond think.

Know what? We (as in most of us, but who's counting?) probably don't care what the commentator thinks either! So, spare us your anti-American ad homs and get a clue.

The racist outcry is making me racist.

 

Me too.

The irony will never cease to amaze me. I guess..I can officially consider myself racist now, because I found the ad funny because it surely was an interesting approach how to appease your opponents' fans :m:
