CANBERRA, Australia — Fast food giant KFC has pulled an Australian television advertisement after it was branded racist in the United States.
“Need a tip when you’re stuck in an awkward situation?” the Australian asks. “Too easy,” he adds after the West Indian supporters surrounding him give up their celebrating to eat his KFC.
The spot, which foreshadows a much-anticipated clash between the two fiercely competitive cricketing nations, ran for three weeks without raising a ripple of complaint in Australia.
