KFC advertisements
KFC ads falling back on stereotypes

So again - it seems if you're a white male you can have a family, bond with your mates and just be human beings without any stereotypes in a KFC ad

but be black, and the hip hop music has got to be played, forget a script, be Indian and there's got to be a hot and spicy somewhere, and be female and you're neurotic, or you have to please your mother-in-law in what is just a Consol glass ad ripoff.

KFC - get an ad agency that works for the money you're paying them - please!!!
