KFC Uproar

The Australia advert for KFC stating the only way to shut us up is a bucket of chicken....ummmm maybe we are taking this to serious but there is a fine line between just having fun and sterotypes.

The ad shows a lone white Australian man surrounded by a raucous crowd of black West Indies supporters at a cricket match. He asks “Need a tip when you’re stuck in an awkward situation?” and proceeds to share a bucket of fried chicken with the crowd.

Australian Web site news.com.au reported that KFC called the ad a “light-hearted” reference to cricket and said that any intent of racism was “misinterpreted by a segment of people in the U.S.

Question is do you find this offensive or just a bit of fun?

I know for a fact if some comedian done this I may of been busting my gut...
