encyclopedia of racist products

Used to drive down with best friend in coldest winter to get KFC mashed poato/gravy combo, then snarf it in the car before we got back home.

American KFC does not do French fries It is much better than UKFC.

The only thing I think I detest when this shit comes up is it resulting in people saying shit like "people forget how backwards Australians are", thank you very much guys, have a nice day.

I detest the racism as well.

The ad is dumb, many people here have no idea the "stigma" of fried chicken, they wont see the west indies as "african americans", the whole thing is stupid.

I have a racist South Korean KFC youtube, freshly delivered to my inbox by ILX user "?????????"

congratulations!

the internet is amazing

unforgivably stupid is a bit harsh. the only way an australian would be aware of this is by reading ilx racism threads or watching ghostworld.

"YOU fill our zoos with kangaroos, WE fill your summer breeze with the smell of KFC!"

hi just poppin in to this thread to say that i ate at a kfc in st. lucia three years ago, it was ok

Sky, Harold's... niece?... was a crazy goth that didn't care for trends etc. and it turned out to all be based on thora birch in ghost world. everyone found out, teased her for still following a trend and so she goes through an 'ally sheedy in breakfast club' moment and becomes everything she once dispised for no apparent reason.

amazing that popcorn chicken is still around since the days of hammer

australia is so racist it's kinda crazy

do ppl there really call aborigines "black fellas"?

I thought we had covered this on The Cape of Good Hope's Rolling 09/10 Cricket Season thread...

...anyway, this is a great opportunity for the oppressed white people of surbuban Australia to whinge about Americans and Political Correctness and whatever.

PS: I have eaten at KFC but I used to have a Sir Viv Richards "Master Blaster" cricket bat when playing schoolboy cricket.

australia isn't any more racist than any other western country ime. "blackfella" and "whitefella" are words used mostly by indingenous australians and aren't necessarily racist at all.

the classic 'launch Chevy Nova in Mexico' move.

This is an urban legend, btw.

do ppl there really call aborigines "black fellas"?

Erm. No. Koori people call *themselves* "blackfullas", its pidgin, at least do us the courtesy of understanding some of Australia's culture the way you expect us to of yours.

There are plenty of racist terms and racism against the indigenous in this country but blackfella ain't one of them, nor is it really even a "taken back" insult. Words like "boong" and "abo" on the other hand... sigh.

Sorry I didnt see sonderberg had already also pointed that out heh.

Well, they pulled the advertisement off and as predicted...

Cool Can we now tell America to ban the movie White Chicks, or perhaps Tropic Thunder too... Oh no, wait... they make money for Hollywood... (I know KFC is American, but you get my point).

I hate Harry Connick Jr. He got all high and mighty because he realised his terrible music wouldn't sell but a few jabs at another country's culture might.

Erm. No. Koori people call *themselves* "blackfullas", its pidgin

Why can't the black dude be a dog or a cat or an animal that people to cuddle, and not some puke-eating street pest that everyone hates?

fess up h-man

lol i had a 'wicked wings snack pack' yesterday at lunch, i could never boycott the dirty bird ;__;

tbhaitch

I had a Zinger Burger combo the other day so chalk me up as a evil racist Australian.

hmmm

An Australian publisher has had to pulp and reprint a cook-book after one recipe listed "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of black pepper.

Penguin Group Australia had to reprint 7,000 copies of Pasta Bible last week, the Sydney Morning Herald has reported.

The reprint cost A$20,000 ($18,000; £12,000), but stock in bookshops will not be recalled as it is "extremely hard" to do so, Penguin said.

The recipe was for spelt tagliatelle with sardines and prosciutto.

"We're mortified that this has become an issue of any kind, and why anyone would be offended, we don't know," head of publishing Bob Sessions is quoted as saying by the Sydney newspaper.

Penguin said almost every one of the more than 150 recipes in the book listed salt and freshly ground black pepper, but a misprint occurred on just one page.

"When it comes to the proofreader, of course they should have picked it up, but proofreading a cook-book is an extremely difficult task. I find that quite forgivable," Mr Sessions said.

If anyone complains about the "silly mistake", they will be given the new version, Penguin said.

At least this mistake won't make people's crock pots explode.

I love that dude responded with "well, doing your job correctly is hard!"

Look I'm sorry your car exploded, but building gas tanks is complicated work!
