Um, that was the advertising campaign during the Australia v West Indies cricket cup. It's not racist at all. -_-

GG blowing everything out of proportion these days.

Yup, people look for any excuse to call something racist now days.
People thought this was racist and I only saw it played once. I think it might of been pulled from the air.

Either way its amusing, so now if your going down the ghetto just have a gun and some KFC, keep the crackheads off your car, just throw it out the window.

I saw this on TYT I don't really find it racist but the fact that KFC went about it in a way that it's American consumers would not see the advert, is a little messed up.
What did they have to hide?

they hid it for the same reason you guys are loling at it

They "hid" it form you because it's not relevant to you. You don't watch and follow cricket over there, it's in regards to a cricket tour.

Pro tip: Australian branches of a company of the same name are SEPERATE and can do their own thing.

is it still racist/stereotyping if its true?

Dammit America!

THERE IS NO BLACK PEOPLE <3 CHICKEN STEREOTYPE IN AUSTRALIA! INTERWEBZ RAGE!

Just because America is like that, doesn't mean Australia is.

Well your wrong there since KFC said in a statement that It was not meant to be shown in America because it would be blown out of hand not because of what you said.

And I'm not American I'm British and cricked is watched and followed here...

I'd like a link to this statement then please, because I call bull as it has no relation to them at all. =]

"We have been made aware that a KFC commercial being shown on Australian television has apparently caused offense, particularly in the United States, after a copy of the commercial was reproduced online without KFC's permission," the Louisville, Ky.-based company said.

"While we believe this lighthearted commercial has been well understood by Australian cricket fans, to avoid the possibility of any further offense being caused by the advertisement either here or online overseas, KFC will cease running the commercial immediately,"


There is more about it but if you need more I'm sure a quick Google search on your part would reveal it..
