British company Fox's is currently running an ad with a Panda that not only has an Italian American accent but also alludes directly to the notion that he's some sort of Godfather figure in the Mafia mould conveying a message that you'd best eat Fox's biscuits too.


Fuckin' right. Best listen to him, too, if you know what's good for you.


Scary ad so I listened and went out and bought loads of packets of the biscuits. Sadly the story of being made to eat them by the Panda on the ad didn't wash with Master and I got into trouble anyway. Sigh still I managed a couple of packets before he caught me.

We have been accused recently (NZ) of gross cultural insensitivity by a Canadian Inui tourist. The reason being our marshmallows named Eskimos, they’ve been called that for the last 54 years. She said it was racially insulting, an insult to her people, both in terms of the name, which she said had racial overtones, and the shape which stereotyped her people as igloo dwellers. She also complained about our icecream Eskimo Pie.

She planned to make the Canadian Prime Minister and her grandfather aware of the lollies.

I guess the indigenous people here might get offended if the Canadians launch a range of lollies called “Horis” featuring tattooed Maori faces   

No offence to any Inui.

folks find offense when theyre looking for it.....i just hope ya had ice cold milk with the oreos, and i hope ya ate em properly.

Oreo *IS* a racial slur, though the person was really silly to assume that you meant it in that sense just from overhearing a part of a conversation. Some people just want to be offended.



I didn't realize that. Learn something new every day. Wasn't The Oreos the name of the backup singers for BS in A Star is Born?

I don’t think they will. It has become a Kiwi tradition…lol. We consumed over 19 million of them. But one wonders what will be next? Parent groups complaining about jelly babies ginger groups getting heated up about gingerbread men and SubWay demanding Dom/mes submissives not to use the word sub?


How come Oreo is a racial slur?

No; I think it is an indication of a bigger problem, and the focus is just in the wrong place.

The weird thing is that "oreo" is a term used by black when they say a black person is acting "white."

Yeah I do, right beside my biracial son. The second part is not a lie.



Ahhh, now that might shed a little light on this subject.  If you're biracial son was standing outside with you, and they heard a remark about oreo's, it very well could have been you that the comment was made towards or against.  (that is, depending on what race your son is mixed with, but I am guessing they were guessing black and white, regardless)

Geesh, people these days.

No the son was in bed.

Spoke with my neighbor this morning and found out what had happened. The people walking up his driveway to their car were two black men and a white woman, with the oman walking between the men. One of the men heard me say oreo and thought I was making a racial comment about two black men with one white woman.

It is a shame that it isn't aired but yanno.. I can actually see some people totally missing the point with it.

Really interesting though, so thank you for posting it.
