Shows how much I know about tennis, eh?

Or television for that matter...

Are you holding that Frosty in a space from which it cannot escape, with no windows, and poor ventilation?

Yes you are.

And what COLOR is that Frosty, sir?

I THOUGHT so.

Go apologize to someone. Quickly, 'cause there seems to be a time limit on the 'apology' phase...

Hey Bob Ray,

KFC say, skip the burger and have some finger-lickin' good, fried chicken instead!

I wll admit this, knowing how it will be interpreted here.

I saw the commercal in question a week or so ago and have seen it several times. I am not a racial minority nor am I easily offended. I came to the same conclusion that the writer did about that aspect of the commercial.

The concept of a split community and someone yelling "Chicken Lover" made me think of black vs. white and someone yelling "n----er lover"

Now, I just went on about my life --- but I cannot pretend I too did not see that symbolism. I also think the ad is in poor taste and should be removed, voluntarily.

He probably sees just anything and his first thought is, "how can I interpret this as racism?"

Only a true racist can see racism everywhere they look.
