The man got paid a stupid large sum to promote fried chicken. He doesn't have a problem with it so why should anyone else. PC culture is poo poo and everyone who takes offense to that commercial should go and gently caress themselves. I'm sick of it. You dont like it, don't eat the chicken and spend that time pushing little stones into your rear end because gently caress you and gently caress everything you believe in. I believe that fried chicken is delicious and if a big black motherfucker says it's good that's probably because it is good because black people like fried chicken and I should probably eat what they like. loving hell. It's not about "PC", it's about it being a lovely ad. I don't see anything racist about it. It's just a lovely ad. No-one should take offense, it's just a worthless ad. The wings should be tossed in sauce, not dipped. Also, I like fried chicken. I'll eat 2 dozen wings in a second. But that ad simply didn't work. Nothing "PC", just a bad ad.

Fry that chicken, you hear me? Though It's possible KFC might have them beat in the chicken ad department.

The best pregnancy test marketing is the one with the curved handle so you can't accidentally pee on your hand. Better hope to Christ that thing is negative if you're afraid of getting a little pee on yourself because oh boy do I have bad news for you.

Zero One posted:No there was a soup commercial with two dads feeding their son. I think it also involved Star Wars so even more people got upset that "perfect" "family" Disney company was involved too. Because Disney is smart, and knows that no matter who you like to gently caress, you have money. I bet Disney execs see poo poo like the bakery who refused to make a gay wedding cake (and leaked the info of the customers, etc) and just shake their heads and use $500 to light their cigars as they wonder how loving stupid people have to be to actively push money away.

I don't know how that process works but isn't it just they do an ultrasound and go "hey there's a little penis"? Like are there any hormone differences between male and female fetus?

McDonald's is running a radio spot in my area with two young, hip dudes talking about how one of them is going on a first date with a girl and he doesn't know where to take her. So of course his buddy recommends McDonald's, because nothing says "I want a second date with you" better than greasy fast food off the Dollar Menu.

Solice Kirsk posted:I'm more offended by the Golden Gate Bridge being on the packaging. California knows poo poo about fried chicken. You need southern fried chicken! Yeah but the South doesn't have any recognizable landmarks other than, like, those Confederate guys on the side of Stone Mountain, and maybe "See Rock City" barns I guess they could go with the South of the Border Sombrero Tower but that would just be extra confusing

If it's called Obama chicken why not have Wrigley Field in the background? What does San Francisco have fuckall to do with Obama? Also we do have a lot of fried chicken here. I go to Brenda's Soul Food in the tenderloin.

bitterandtwisted posted:Before the internet, I'd never heard of the fried chicken stereotype. Or the watermelon one. Apparently grape juice is one as well? It's not grape juice it specifically grape drink, which is a cheap artificial substitute for real juice that's mostly drunk by poor people. If you buy it premade it generally costs around a dollar a gallon, if you make it with powder and sugar it costs about half that. In America fried chicken used to be the cheapest way to get some protein in your diet, now it's made with breasts, drumsticks, wings, etc but back in the reconstruction to Jim Crow days it was basically a way to make the lovely part of the chicken edible (livers, feet, gizzards, etc). The same goes with Watermelos, in most of the south they were super easy to grow and cultivate and so they became associated with poor people of all stripes. The negative associations in American culture of associating these things with black people are pretty obvious, all of them are "poor" foods and have been historically used in heavily demeaning ways that often cast black people as racist caricatures or as animalistic savages with an unholy thirst for chicken and watermelons.

Everywhere in the US has fried chicken, I'm just saying its not what San Francisco is known for. Now if it was Obama Cioppino, then it would work.

Mu Zeta posted:If it's called Obama chicken why not have Wrigley Field in the background? What does San Francisco have fuckall to do with Obama? Lol if you think anybody thought about this at all. Most likely it went like this: "Hey guys, we need to rebrand our chicken nuggets. Any ideas?" "Well they're American. Obama just became their president there so let's call them something with Obama. That'll make people think it's truly American" "What about the packaging?" "Every other product uses the statue of liberty so let's not do that. How abooooout... the golden gate bridge instead?" "Brilliant, Hans, you're surely getting a raise for this" Also if it's not obvious, the black people - fried chicken stereotype isn't a thing in Germany (probably nowhere outside the US). It's probably really a case of the rare accidental racism. Now had it been Erdogan Döner meat...

He used the pregnancy test as a joke. The positive result is an indication of cancer. She will be a single mother, that's why they're shocked.

The best part about the Sox is that even if they're in the World Series you can still get tickets at the box office. And then you're only one stop away from China Town after the game to get Won Kow.

A small fry, an ice cream cone, a soda, or an apple pie aren't enough value for your precious dollar? I do find it kinda weird that they have both a Premium Big Mac and a normal Big Mac now, but I didn't know until I saw it on their menu. I'm used to being saturated in Micky D's ad for everything they do. Are they hemorrhaging money or something?

Only one I've seen out in the burbs still has a dollar menu, and it's just a small corner of the panel that the Value Menu is in. It's basically just a small fry, an ice cream cone, a soda, an apple pie, and a sandwich. And that sandwich is a bizarre menu item that no one orders, like a Jalepeno Cheeseburger or something completely random. Otherwise it's all $1.39 or 2 for $3 items
