I was going to turn this into a podcast, but thought it was too hard.
So, have you heard the controversy over the Aussie KFC ad that has been labelled “racist” in America?

Watch the video below, and see what you think…

So there you have it. If you are watching the cricket (a game goes for 3-5 days!), and you’re stuck in the opposition crowd – get a bucket of KFC and everyone will be happy. “The KFC crowd pleaser”, right…? Simple enough?
well, not if you are American it seems. The land of the free (or should that be obsessed with division), equates everything to being racist. Chicken, black people = racist. Go figure! Honestly, this is what drives me mental. The constant need to make everything racist, to create division. Watch the clip below to see what these commentators have to say…

1) There is NO stereotype in Australia of black fellas and chicken.
2) the ad is featuring West Indies cricket fans, not Africaaaan Americaaans.
3) the white guy is not superior cause he’s sitting in the crowd; he is in the OPPOSITION supporters area.
4) if they knew anything about cricket, they’d know that the same thing is happening in the ‘Aussie area’ where the cheering, jumping, drunk, white yobbos are.
5) there have been KFC ads about NZ, Aussies, Poms (UK), Sth Africans, Indians and Pakistanis.
Y’all need to get an education, and pull your shelterred heads outta your own Yankee asses. Maybe catch a plane somewhere, OR, watch some TV/DVD on another country/culture. Outside of America, the whole world is not obsessed with creating division and labelling people/things to try to sound ‘PC’, but actually just creating more “difference”.

That’s my rant of 2010. Sadly, the people that read this blog are NOT the people that need to hear or think about it. Oh well.
