We don't think that Obama Fried Chicken is actually racist, despite all the hoo haa and mirror checking going on in the US at the moment. However, this advert for South Korea's finest deep fried, KyoChon Chicken, most definitely is.
What's offensive here is that a Korean person would deign to assume he knows how to make fried chicken better than a tribe of Africans. Wouldn't you say?
At this point, I urge you to check out KyoChon Chicken's amazing website, with the sound turned up REALLY LOUD. The homepage is a dazzlingly bad flash animation, full of butterflies carrying Nintendo DSs and lunchboxes presumably filled with pickled vegetables over a park, and there's even a barbershop quartet humming a theme tune in the background.

Geez, you're a wee bit sensitive. This advert has nothing to do with race. It's really funny and simply says, "Hey guys. Don't eat the usual boring crap you eat everyday, try something different, try Kyochon's delicious chicken." Grow up why don't ya?
ReplyDeleteI refer you to the phrase "What's offensive here is that a Korean person would deign to assume he knows how to make fried chicken better than a tribe of Africans. Wouldn't you say?"
ReplyDeleteIn case you missed the subtlety of it, I was being racist there too.
