Krispy Kreme has accidentally advertised a "KKK Wednesday" for one of their stores this coming February 18th.
The mistake is in between lighter topics, such as "Young at Heart Coffee Morning" on February 16th and "Balloon Madness" on February 20th.
"KKK Wednesday" likely stands for "Krispy Kreme Klub," but most businesses do not come close to the extremely bad connotations of a "KKK" acronym. Here is a picture of the ad, which was still up at the time this article was written:
The ad was posted by Krispy Kreme to its UK Facebook page.
Tsk tsk. Have to get the PC police after them..........
Racist donuts???
Maybe the UK employees didn’t learn about the KKK in school.
Who doesn’t like donut hos
You think that’s bad? I was born in the Philippines, and the initials KKK is an honored initials. It stands for the “KATIPUNAN” insignia. Now, let me educate all you people. The “KATIPUNAN” was a “BROTHERHOOD” that fought against Spain, long before the USA had their war against Spain. KKK stood for “KAKALANGALAAN, KATAASTASAN, KATIPUNAN” In Tagalog, it means “THE MOST HONORABLE, HIGHEST, BROTHERHOOD”. So, KKK is only a bad initials in the USA.
Gee. I didn’t know Krispy Kreme was so biased towards Democrats.
Here, our children learn about how evil our white people were/are to American Indians, Asians, and Blacks. In the UK, they probably shove their historic supposed “white supremacy” towards “Muslims” and the Indians down the throats of their 5-year-olds.
In some countries, “KKK” is equivalent to “LOL”.
They need a NAACP monday now.
it does not seem that it was done accidentally... if the firm that worked on this is from the UK, it probably doesn’t mean anything there...
Krispy Kareem should speak out about this!
Is it merely “progressive cultural imperialism” or is it also evidence of “progressive stupidity” to try and hold people in the UK culpable for an abbreviation that only has relevance to people in a far-away former colony?
I remember when donuts were fresh. Now they all come from a factory.
Live from the Apollo Theater! Krusty's Komedy Klassics!
Ha, definitely conflicted on the issue.
Freegards
Krispy Kreme Konfections .... I see no problem.
