WHAT'S PISSING ME OFF AT THIS MOMENT
Not because its racist...because it's not. When taken in the context for which is was intended, it is absolutely not racist.However, add a few assholes who can't shut the fuck up and people who will whine about fart bubbles going up their backs in the bathtub and now you have a larger group of idiots who believe the bullshit....and so on.
As the word spreads from one buffoon to another it gains momentum (only because people don't read and educate themselves) Side-Note: this is a good time to point you to a book entitled Idiot America: How Stupidity Became a Virtue in the Land of the Free by Charles Pierce
First, I want you to pay attention to the actual ad, Then I want you to listen closely to the commentary afterward by Lester Holt and his guests - David Wilson (thegrio.com) and Greg Dinoto (Deutch inc.) on The Today Show.
After his introduction, David Wilson, a black man, makes this statement at 1:27 into the interview. "We understand that KFC is an American corporation, and the fact that and American corporation that has such a huge African-American consumer base, that they would air this anywhere, uh, is shocking"...STOP right there. What did he just say??
"that has such a huge African-American consumer base" ??? That being said by David Wilson himself, doesn't that substantiate the very basic message of the commercial itself??
I mean, your saying that KFC has a HUGE African-American consumer base, yet when an ad shows them going cuckoo for coco puffs because some white dude buys them a bucket, then all of a sudden its a racist thing. By delineation, Because blacks love chicken and because a white dude supplies a bucket of what they love, KFC is a racist. UN-FUCKIN-BELIEVABLE!!
