Some say it's racist. Others say it's hilarious. You say it's....

It really isn't that funny. I think it's kinda stereotypical. But racist? What's wrong with liking chicken? I love fried chicken. Since when is liking fried chicken a bad thing?

Only the black lady with shades was funny and the rest was racist and unfunny. It was definitely fucking racist because all they showed was black people getting mad about chicken. The video reminds me of the Chappelle episode with the black pixie who goes on and on about black people loving chicken and this video just perpetuates that stereotype.If this video wasn't real and the customers were ridiculously angry then it would be funny but since its actual news its just pathetic. Regardless Popeyes makes some tasty chicken
I really don't see how anyone can't think its at least mildly racist
learn what racism is? it's highly stereotypical, not racist.

I don't think it's racist. It's funny that they happened to show only African Americans, but couldn't it be that there was just a shortage of other races interested in chicken at the time? I mean, there has to be a little truth in the stereotype for it to even be a stereotype... maybe there are a lot of black people in the NY area who love Popeye's.

This made me want some Popeye's. I think I'll go get some. The video wasn't racist, that's just the way things are.

i chuckled a few times, they definitely found the best people to fit that stereotype. I was more taken aback by how much that newscaster looks just like one from my hometown, but I guess they all kinda fit a stereotype of their own.

Oh, Rochester. The KFC right next to the Penfield Popeye's just closed down, maybe that's why they had so much business. I saw a local commercial on TV today about how there was no more chicken so don't go for a little while.

Because bitching is going to make them have more chicken.

I went to KFC yesterday to use my free 2pc grilled chicken meal but they had stopped honoring them as of Friday morning, guess Fried chicken restaurants just can't deliver on their promises.
