KFC Apologizes After Backlash Over TV Commercial Depicting Tween Boys Ogling Woman’s Cleavage
ET Canada ^ | Jan, 21, 2020 | Brent Furdyk

An Australian television commercial for a popular fast food chain has been taking heat over a premise that has been accused of being blatantly sexist and enforcing “archaic stereotypes.”

In the 15-second spot for KFC, a young woman — apparently on her way to some type of festival — checks herself in the reflection of a car window, adjusting her low-cut dress to showcase her cleavage.

If women don’t want their derrière ogled, then why do they favor yoga pants?

Cleavage is cool...and so are the building blocks that create it

Nobody has a sense of humor nowadays.

Boring culture and society without some lightheartedness and fun.

That is a hilarious commercial. Check out mom in the car.

I’m surprised the car wash scene in Cool Hand Luke hasn’t gone to the cutting room floor for all eternity.

I wouldn’t say it was an archaic stereotype by any means, but I would say it’s inappropriate for TV.

Yup. How about Green Acres? She wanted to live in New York city. He wanted to become a farmer. He won out. Archaic! /sarc.

Child attraction to female breasts is an innocent feeding- survival mechanism.

At puberty it becomes another matter of reproduction as you say.

I saw the commercial and if I had to criticize it, I would say that it might be a naughty example to young ladies. But it hardly deserves all the outlandish , whacko cry for censorship.

Its a futile attempt by the nouveau Victorian crowd disguised as Me Toos and Lesbians? Knowing what I do about ordinary Australian women, which is precious little, but enough to opine that these whckos trying to box Aussie Women in this way is completely futile. KFC is actually celebrating them. And every man worth any salt knows it.

I hope KFC sticks to its guns, they will sell a lot of chicken.

I don’t think mom was ogling. It was more of a “get out of here before I rip your head off” glare.

Oh yes, I have.

For starters, some in-laws’ relations, and I worked 6 years in a local car-parts shop.
