US is up in arms because an Australian cricketer shares some KFC with West Indian crowd.

Apparently it is racist to offer fried chicken to West Indians.

Yes we have done it again, upset the yanks.
We all know they have no racism there.
Thought the thread may be about the brutal murder of that poor Indian bloke, my wishes and thoughts are with his familly.
We are a bad mob, no not realy but makes for a good laugh, news papers you see world wide need to be sold, more like comic books every day.

Trouble with the internet. Everything that is done, ven on TV, has to culturally appropiate for the Americans just in case it makes to you tube or soemthing, they own the net apparently. Perhaps Conroy does not need to bother with net censorship, the Yanks will do for us,.

I think that Brendan O'Connor got it right with the Seppo's being insulated. The vast majority don't have an OUNCE of understanding of what's going on outside of the states and they don't care too.

They don't get our humour. You won't see them TRYING to grasp it either.

Gee, I thought KFC came from America in the first place. So, perhaps it's their fault for inventing it in the first place.

Perhaps they may consider channeling all the francise profits down the line and into the pockets of those who are offended by fried chicken.

After all, they started it.

What a bunch of tossers!
