gotta agree culturally specific cuisine and its promotion in regards to a culturally specific event is not a targeted racially offensive act. On the contrary, many of the foods listed are also culturally specific to many old timers and rural resident of the Appalachian Mtns (yes us crackers here in the hills).   (Here's your chance for some cultural racisim, you know the ignorant hillbilly thing)  I myself love collard greens and fried chicken, (hold the water though and gimme a beer)black eyed peas etc .... however people who dont see the overt racist nature , not only the ad but Australias treatment of the aboriginal people are living with their heads up their asses. Comparing the ad to the menu is a WTF moment.

"Comparing the ad to the menu is a WTF moment."

I'm glad to hear it! I hope it was as big a WTF? moment as the entire conversation about the Australian KFC ad being racist was for me.

The entire point is that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar with no hidden innuendo agenda.

WTF? is a perfect reaction. WTF? moments make people think.

I'm satisfied with that.
