KFC Ad Has Certain People Shouting Racism
A new ad from Kentucky Fried Chicken that was shown ins Australia has many people seeing red.
Dubbed “How To Silence A Noisy Crowd,” the commercial serves as but one in a series of promotional vignettes. The footage features a lone, white Australian man attempting to enjoy a cricket match while sitting in the midst of a seemingly opposing crowd made up of nothing but chocolate hued fans, purportedly meant to represent West Indians.
When the crowd notices the poor chap, he utters, “Need a tip when you're stuck in a situation?,” after which he pulls out a sizeable bucket of the Colonel's fried chicken to quell the matter before the situation presumably degenerates into something worse.
Peep The Video After The Jump:
Do you feel that the video crosses the line and is racist or are people just feining anger to get attention?
