Finger Lick'd

Imagine the rioting in the streets if there was a KFC commercial in which a white man surrounded by black people wins friends by breaking out a bucket of fried chicken. However, they do things a little differently down under...

It's not as though something similarly offensive and simmering with racism hasn't happen recently - some Australians who think blackface is okay probably have no issue with it. But it does make curious what would happen if there was blatant programming straddling the line of racism and acceptability. Oh wait, I have.

Now, if somebody could only tell me why I feel like starting a drum circle and eating fried chicken...
