Krispy Kreme has apologized following criticism of its new campaign that included a highly offensive racial slur.
The iconic doughnut brand came under fire over its new campaign, made by creative agency Abel in collaboration with Limehouse Production, encouraging customers to pick up a box of their doughnuts for major celebrations.
The campaign features four spots that aim to make Krispy Kreme doughnuts the star of celebrations like sports events, birthday parties, or major life milestones.
In the short spots, the doughnuts replace the letter “o” in words like “footy,” “movie,” and “hooray.” But one shows doughnuts popping up to replace the “o” in “congrats”– briefly spelling “c–ngrats” then “c–ngrats.”

Speaking of the Tuohys, if Michael Ohr HAD been adopted - which he allegedly claims he though he was - wouldn’t he have gotten their last name??
I would think Tuohy would have carried a lot more clout than the name of a crack addicted mother/ unavailable father.
So, how could he have not known????
Agree!
What a bunch of hogwash
What a bunch of nonsense.
So... We can’t use the word ‘Congrats’ anymore???
Well then... Congrats to the woke’r than woke lunatic who dreamt this up.
I don’t get it.
Also, I thought it was a thread about Chris Cristie.
Well then... It’s obviously offensive to racoon’s and coonhound’s too.
In a society of utter wokeness, do they not also have feelings?
>You have to watch the video. ‘Coongrats’ I guess is the offending ‘slur’. <
The agitator-in-chief here is anti-racism campaigner Dr. Stephen Hagan.
Speaking of thin ice, having two anti-women slurs in ones name doesn’t give the doctor much room to be critical of others.
BTW- He’s the same kind of doctor as Dr. Jill.

I thought this was about Gov. Krispy Kreme.
Okay, I watched the video. Well, a few seconds anyway.
At one point there are two doughnuts in place of the letter ‘O’ and it says ‘C🍩🍩NGRATS!’...
I think it offended the PETA people.... 🦝
It’s like nobody read the article. That said, it’s still stupid that people were offended. As one poster at the site said, are they making record companies apologize for all the offensive lyrics in rap?
Selective outrage. So don’t care.
Next they’ll want to rename
Raccoon Creek State Park PA
Raccoon Twp PA
New Coon Creek Girls (bluegrass)
Raccoon KY
This could be passable satire.
See my tagline.
I guess the NGR can be interpreted to mean something.“
The airport in Papua New Guinea?
Why not just add another “K” to KK is Kispy Kreme?
“Krispy Kreme” spelled with Ks like the KKK.
Like most people, I have never met a white supremacist, but I bet they like donuts.
Oh for the love of Christ, get over yourselves…. Those “offended” need to be told to pound sand.
Only folks who are going to be offended by this are people just looking to be offended
