KFC: For Eric & Trick
Yeah, everyone has already covered the racist KFC spot from Australia. But there’s been little said about the similar concept from Korea. And let’s not forget the American classic from Draftfcb.

In KFC's defense, while the Korean spot is labeled as KFC, it appears to actually be another brand.
The black actors agreeing to appear in the Kyochon Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) commercial is worse than the racism in the commercial.
Did those brothas need the money that bad?
Well, I suppose in this recession, they do. (Are Kyochun hiring?)
Ego Trippin,
It's just a guess, but Black actors in Korea probably have limited opportunities.
Yes limited to buffoonery.
Actually, the buffoonery opportunities there are probably unlimited. Still waiting for a video duet with Lil' Kim and Lil' Kim Jong-il.
HighJive,
You can't be entirely sure that the commercial was actually filmed in Korea. (That tropical island doesn't feel Korean to me.) For budget reasons, many commercials are shot outside of the country and in this case, it would be plausible in terms of casting black actors and location.
My hunch is South Africa, where a lot of commercials from other countries are shot.
Well, taking that particular production to South Africa would make the commercial crime even more heinous.
Black folks collecting checks and being played.
"Still waiting for a video duet with Lil' Kim and Lil' Kim Jong-il."
genius.
