KFC commercial where young woman checks her cleavage, much to the delight of the boys inside the car.

Latest controversy in Australia. I hope KFC dont pull the ad, but you know they will.

If you try hard enough to think it's sexist, sure. But it's not. Just because the ad features a promiscuous chick, that doesn't say that "all women are sluts" or that "all women should be sluts" as that's reading wayyyyyyyy to deep into a ING FAST FOOD ADVERTISEMENT.

No. If you did the exact same commercial with some hot shirtless guy and girls in the car I wouldn't have a problem with it and neither would anyone else so I don't know why I'm supposed to think this is sexist.

I'm not sure whether it's sexist or not, but I'm certainly tired of sex being used as a marketing tool in literally everything, especially for food of all things.

I’m glad that even with the fires, floods, drought, Scott Morrison, and the coronavirus, Australia still has time to spend on this.

Coronavirus deaths = zero.

The paradigm you are presenting does not exist.

Surpringly, those things actually affect only 1-2% of the population.

We are simply not obsessed with politics like the USA.

This is not sexist. There would be no real grounds to be calling it as such. That being said, if you wanted to say "is this ad stupid" I would be having a different answer, and I would agree. Because there is no real reason anything like this could make any sense in a normal world context

I wouldn't say so. Banal, clichéd, and unfunny, yes, but not sexist. For some reason I doubt the people complaining about this ad have a problem with pornography, even though it's a million times more objectifying than this ad could ever dream to be.
