News spot about Alabama group hallucination about a group of African Americans thinking they saw a leprechaun: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DM7CL-Vyo1U Burger King commercial including the two racist autobots from Transformers (Return of the Fallen): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCoHoPoiSAE There's two references relating the ebonics of the autobots to the people living in Alabama. The first is "Looks like a leprechaun to me." And later mention, "I want to know where the gold at." Even has the reference to the news article 'crackhead pot of gold' at the end line, "Could be a crackhead." Now we all heard about the racist commercial they allowed Kentucky Fried Chicken to air. I NEVER heard a single person complain in regards to this commercial NOR about the movie itself allowing them to stereotype African Americans in such a light even in alien robot form. |

So just because everyone knows the majority of customers over at KFC are African American that's the cause for the world to be up in arms over a commercial and NOT when Burger King does it? I bet if it were McDonald's they would be since that is majority African American consumers SAME as with KFC... But how about this? P Diddy says Burger King is open late because he said so. He also had an advertisement showing his ignorance (not sure if it was intentional by a racist promoter wishing to dis on P Diddy) when he claimed him and Burger King formed a partnership to pay for a YouTube channel. (YouTube is free to everyone. You only pay if you want your videos promoted on the side bar.) |

The thing with the KFC add was it was Australian so it made it even more pathetic for people to say it was racist, I don't even know what this post is about? i watched the burger king add and couldn't see anything wrong with it. Is it just Americans that are uptight about tv add's or something. |

Bobbydown: The Burger King commercial shows how dumb blacks are. Same way they did when they had P Diddy go on YouTube to claim him and Burger King had a partnership to pay for a YouTube channel -- when YouTube is free hosting. |
