With the whole proliferation of American media Internationally and seeing as how the company who created the advert must be savvy enough (they usually are), I doubt "Blacks lovin' the fried chicken" is a secret stereotype that only rears its head in America. Sure its probably the most prevalent there but absolving that commercial because of that is crazy.

No, it's one that arose specifically in the United States.

Americans need get over ourselves and stop assuming that other countries share all of our cultural tics.  Maybe there's evidence that a similar thing exists in the West Indies, but until I see that, why assume everything carries the same connotations to other people that it does to us?

I don't know, the tripping point for me is this white dude giving them all the fried chicken, it just makes me pause and think about it. But I guess I can see something being lost in translation but even then its a case of an International company having to watch out how they're portrayed (via commercials) in other markets... that shit'll come back around.

I feel the same way, but that doesn't really make it racist or racially insensitive. It's just our American culture telling us it is.

I don't doubt that they had racism against blacks and vaudeville blackface even at one point in Australia but what reason would KFC or any of the people working on the commercial have to piss off black people?  They're (supposedly good) customers.

I mean, you don't have to suck their dicks for posting here between GAF bannings but I don't get chasing them off.

:rofl OMG I just realised which fucking ad they were talking about. God damn people are morons. They're doing a bunch of Cricket ads and KFC have sponsored the cricket for years. Just so happens the West Indies are touring this year.

Lucky they didn't pick Pakistan fans for the ad. ::)

jump tip pass is mostly gone from the game now

I think the speed and athleticism of today would make some of those passes turnovers.

Kings tried to bring it back, but Stern don't like no passing white folk in his league!

I don't see how athleticism would come into play. With the quick release of those passes, it's all about reaction time and wingspan. A defensive player doesn't have enough time to react with his legs.

Also, the 80s weren't the 50s. Wilkins, Drexler, and Jordan et al. were pretty athletic.

they sponsored the New Zealand team for a couple of years in the late 90's, when we were a bit hard up for sponsorship. The commericals on tv were awesome

the GAF Goty list isn't too bad compared to others, but it's still driven by popularist sentiment and sfag leanings and therefore binnable :

ODST is pretty average, but it's STILL better than Killzone 2. MW2 SP is short, completely dumb as a story and AGAIN absolutely fucking mullers Killzone 2 and that's before we get to MW2 lack of controller lag, MW2s online coop, MW2s online versus.
Pixel Junk Shooter is better than Futari for best shooter? not in a billion trillion zillion years.
Flower is on the list in any category at all? Wait, it wins BEST ADVENTURE?! fuckkkkkkkkk
And funniest of all...
Punchout! (an absolute shitfest of a game) wins best sports title with sports resort second? in a year that saw an MLB The Show game? and an even better Fifa? and NHL 10?



punchout is great but a sports game? really?

If Reke gets a jumpshot, then it could be glory days. He's already into the Havoc idea.

I have thought that Jordan would have a tougher time in today's NBA. A lot of those lob passes that Bird throws are passes I see get picked off in todays game. The recovery time, as long as they aren't lazy, is much quicker. As impressive as Wilkins was, Lebron is probably on yet another level and the levels below him fall to formerly 'great' athletic levels.  The real difference is in skill and basketball wits.

I have no doubt he will, he's got plenty of time to improve. I'm more curious to see what they decide to do with Martin if things keep going the way they are.

Also, RVCA is a pretty big MMA sponsor and he was at the WEC event in Arco last night, so it looks like he's an MMA fan as well. :bow Reke :bow2

I don't think Martin and Reke work together well. It kind of lacks a setup guy, and as an attacker, I think Reke is better or tougher to stop. If you had another guy who could be the pass first guy with them, then it could work. They just grabbed Hilton Armstrong for nothing, which may be like a rental trial before the trade deadline. The Kings need a 'compliment' player and an athletic, defensive big man. Beyond that, its just time and experience.

I have thought that Jordan would have a tougher time in today's NBA.
With the current hand check rule?  :lol

Look, the average height of an NBA player hasn't changed in two decades and there isn't a two guard in the game as quick or as fast as Jordan. I don't see what has changed since Jordan's prime. If Kobe Bryant was able to score 35 per game during a season, I don't see why a player with bigger hands, quicker feet, and a higher vertical leap would have any trouble. Hell, a 38 year-old Jordan averaged 23/6/5 in 03.

Where are the great NBA centers? Jordan played in era with Hakeem, Robinson, and Ewing.

A lot of those lob passes that Bird throws are passes I see get picked off in todays game. The recovery time, as long as they aren't lazy, is much quicker. As impressive as Wilkins was, Lebron is probably on yet another level and the levels below him fall to formerly 'great' athletic levels.  The real difference is in skill and basketball wits.
Unless a defensive player anticipates those passes, he can't react quick enough. Mental reaction time hasn't changed.
Anyway, if the defensive players are more athletic, it would only stand to reason that the offensive players are too--THEY'RE THE SAME PLAYERS! Those passes Bird threw would be thrown higher of further.

Yes LeBron is a freak. Wilt was a freak. It didn't make the early 60s a super athletic league.
