Kentucky Fried Chicken of Australia is under fire for this totally awesome ad that features a beautiful woman checking herself out in a car window that she doesn’t know has two teenage boys and a mom sitting behind the tinted glass watching her the whole time.
You see, this is “casual sexism” or something:
Just another day of casual #sexism on Australian TV … ? ? ? #KFC https://t.co/vbhML9V5uR

KFC has since apologized:

People were objecting to the reaction from the boys in the car, which we found hilarious:
First of all, the @kfc ad is funny. Also, the young woman is delightful. The distressed mom, worried little kid in back, mesmerized boy in front—an amusing, human situation. KFC should not pull ad. Don’t let the scolds win https://t.co/aPwEyk7UGP

But the ad was pulled:

Well, pulled from TV maybe but it’s still live on the company’s YouTube channel. Have a watch!
Sheesh. KFC didn’t even make a “chicken breast” joke, which we thought was coming the entire time.
