Social Media Meltdown over KFC ad showing only black people eating chicken without utensils!

VIBE (on Yahoo): Black Twitter Calls Out KFC’s Latest Campaign As “Racially Tone Deaf”.

Black Twitter has deemed Kentucky Fried Chicken’s latest campaign “racially tone deaf.”

On Thursday (Aug. 24), KFC Canada’s Director of Marketing, Azim Akhtar, revealed their ad on X/Twitter. He uploaded three pictures of the new advertisement featuring an all-Black cast of people licking their fingers.

“Sorry Utensils, It’s Finger Lickin’ Good,” Akhtar typed. “Latest campaign, I couldn’t be more proud!!” Black Twitter caught wind of the promotion and labeled the billboards racist. Some people questioned the intention behind casting all-Black actors for the ad, when everyone enjoys fried chicken.

“1. So [white] people don’t lick their fingers? 2. We still not eating this (in this country),” one social media user xweeted. “3. I just know it’s a Black person on the creative team like, ‘I knew this wasn’t a good idea, but they don’t listen to me, so I just clock in…do my work…[and] go home.'”

KFC Canada’s creative director responded to the backlash on Friday (Aug. 25), apologizing for “not being more thoughtful.” “My earlier post didn’t capture the full diversity of our latest campaign, and I personally apologize for not being more thoughtful in my excitement to share the campaign and only sharing certain photos,” he xweeted. “Here is the 60-second spot that is more representative of Canada’s diversity and our creative.”

However, that apology wasn’t enough for some. “You being the Director of Marketing,” another person expressed. “Sharing multiple gigantic billboards with black folks eating fried chicken licking their fingers is simply not it. No matter how diverse you feel this ad is.”

WATTPoulty: Sorry, utensils: KFC Canada’s chicken doesn’t need you.

Set to the instantly recognizable Air Supply’s “All Out of Love,” the campaign showcases people eating some of the brand’s most popular food by hand and issues a heartfelt apology to the abandoned spoons and forks.

“You can’t help but go all in and dig in, no utensils needed, with food so good you can’t help but lick your fingers.”

ERRRMMAAAGAAWWWWD! People in an ad who are black eating chicken without using utensils? When do the International Criminal Court Trials start at The Hague?

One: I don't know what Black Twitter is. I'm guessing Twitter accounts written by black people or people who identify as black. 

Two: You've already lost me as a potential consumer on whatever your message is if you're using Air Supply's "All Out of Love." Were the musical rights to "Seasons In The Sun" unavailable? I never liked "All Out of Love". It's a lame song for cucks or incels. Fucking Air Supply. 🤣 

Here's the LINK, (I'll never run any Air Supply song on this blog) to the "All Out of Love" apology ad, with a vibrant mix and diversity of people eating chiggun but not using utensils. The Horror! The Obscenity of it All.

Jill Biden biography book sells a whopping 250 copies in its first week!

Free Beacon: Jill Biden Biography Sells Just 250 Copies in First Week.

The American people are decidedly disinclined to pay $26 for a book about the life of President Joe Biden's primary caretaker. Politico reports that a recently published biography of Dr. Jill Biden, Ed.D, sold just 250 copies in its first week of circulation.

The Blaze: Sales of Jill Biden biography are embarrassingly low.

A new book about first lady Jill Biden had embarrassingly low sales in its debut week. Online commentators noted that perhaps the first family is not as popular as many were led to believe.

She's not even a "doctor". Her degree can be obtained by a "get your degree by 'mail-order'" school. 

Look at this image of her. Her hand gesture is clearly the code for White Supremacy. No wonder no one is buying the book.

Barack Obama ignores Trans Women. Will there be a Social Media reaction of outrage and backlash?

NPR: Barack Obama Says Women Could Solve Many Of World's Problems — Which Men Have Caused.

The world would be a better place if more women were in charge, former President Barack Obama says. Speaking at an event on Monday, Obama also said that many of the world's problems stem from "old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way."

Obama made the remarks at a private event in Singapore, where several thousand people gathered to hear the former president discuss leadership and his life in the Oval Office. Ticket prices ranged from around $255 to $955 for the event, which was organized by Australian business events company The Growth Faculty.

The former president said that if women were put in charge of every country for the next two years, the result would be gains "on just about everything," according to Singapore's Today.

"There would be less war, kids would be better taken care of and there would be a general improvement in living standards and outcomes," Obama said.

The Singapore event isn't available online, but Obama's office confirmed the substance of Obama's remarks to NPR on Monday. And the event's moderator, Nicholas Fang of the Singapore Institute of International Affairs, says the Today report is accurate.

"If you look at the world and look at the problems, it's usually old people, usually old men, not getting out of the way," Obama said, according to a BBC report about the event.

"They cling to power, they are insecure, they have outdated ideas and the energy and fresh vision and new approaches are squashed," he added, Today reports.

"Now women, I just want you to know, you are not perfect, but what I can say pretty indisputably is that you're better than us [men]," Obama said, according to the BBC.

I haven't checked Social Media. Is Obama's Twitter account being bombarded with allegations of his Transphobia? Have the protests in the streets near his home begun? Why did he exclude the Trans Community? He must be phobic. Why...now with all that money, he might be a Closet Republican!

Anyone else saying what Obama said would be labeled Transphobic. Social Media reaction would be swift, critical and non-stop. He would be forced to atone and walk-back his words. No one else could say this and escape criticism. Maybe Canada's Justin Trudeau, but he wouldn't make the mistake of excluding Trans-anyone.

It's "Okay."

The OK hand gesture. Give him one of these.

U.N. chief warns may not have enough money to pay staff next month.

Jan. 13, 2018; U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. 

Why, is he making the White Supremacist "OK" hand gesture?

Shocker...the UN needs money.

Daily Maverick: UN's Secretary-General Guterres warns may not be able to meet payroll.

[U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday] told the 193-member U.N. General Assembly’s budget committee that if he had not worked since January to cut spending then “we would not have had the liquidity to support” the annual gathering of world leaders last month. “This month, we will reach the deepest deficit of the decade. We risk … entering November without enough cash to cover payrolls,” said Guterres. (Those three periods after risk "...", I wonder if he was literally gasping...for Teh...Drama. Maybe he played an ominous ringtone before continuing with, "...entering November... ." - DD)

Washington owes some $381 million for prior regular budgets and $674 million for the 2019 regular budget. The U.S. mission to the United Nations confirmed the figures. It did not immediately respond to a request for comment on when it might pay.

U.S. President Donald Trump has said Washington is shouldering an unfair burden of the cost of the United Nations and has pushed for reforms of the world body. Guterres has been working to improve U.N. operations and cut costs.

The United States is responsible for nearly 28 percent of the peacekeeping budget but has pledged to pay only 25 percent – as required by U.S. law.

The UN could save a lot of money - and help Teh Climate - by ceasing all air travel. There's this thing called Web Conferencing. Most of the UN's actual business needn't be conducted in-person.

Ravelry, knitting and crochet site, bans Trump, Trump supporters and White Supremacy.

Apparently knitters and crocheters are a feisty community.

Ravelry, a self-described "free site for knitters and crocheters" has banned support of President Donald Trump, his supporters, Trump-related material, knitting and crocheting, and White Supremacy.

Per Ravelry's Twitter account:

Per Ravelry's website, their new policy:

New Policy: Do Not Post In Support of Trump or his Administration

Sunday, June 23rd 2019

We are banning support of Donald Trump and his administration on Ravelry.

This includes support in the form of forum posts, projects, patterns, profiles, and all other content. Note that your project data will never be deleted. We will never delete your Ravelry project data for any reason and if a project needs to be removed from the site, we will make sure that you have access to your data. If you are permanently banned from Ravelry, you will still be able to access any patterns that you purchased. Also, we will make sure that you receive a copy of your data.

We cannot provide a space that is inclusive of all and also allow support for open white supremacy. Support of the Trump administration is undeniably support for white supremacy.

Grammas and Great-Aunts can no longer knit or crochet MAGA booties and caps, or cat doilies, and share them on Ravelry. This must be a devastating blow to the craft. Watch for a plunge in the yarn and fiber commodities.

Just one question for Ravelry: Prior to their announcement today, they supported White Supremacy?

White Supremacist's Biden and Cuomo enjoy fundraising from other old White Men, of whom we may also presume are White Democrats Supremacists.

Dems flashing that good ol' KKK Aryan Democrat White Supremacist hand-gesture...again. Because the "Okay hand gesture" standard doesn't apply to LiberTards.

CNBC: Biden prepares for New York fundraising blitz with Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is preparing for a June fundraising blitz in New York, where he will be joined by Gov. Andrew Cuomo and the investor Jim Chanos.

The main event of Biden’s trip will be at Chanos’ home, according to people familiar with the matter. Cuomo will attend and introduce Biden.

Really now...Biden (Who dis?) needs no introduction. I wonder how much Cuomo's getting paid?

Fundraisers, by Two Old White Men given by people and organizations run by Old White Men. How pRogressive! They must really be impressing The Diverse and Tolerant Left.

Jim Chanos; Right hand duly noted White Supremacy gesture.

Breitbart: Biden knows what's, "Good for the Negroes."

And the always obligatory image of Pervy Joe ogling a young girl. The MSM never asks Biden about this picture and, to my knowledge, has never mentioned it. I wonder why?

Yes, it's real, not pho-shopped. Date unknown.
