Then from the American mindset imagine this:

1. Imagine if the logo for cricket didn't exist and you didn't see any reference to cricket contained in the ad including the cricket colours that they're wearing - this is pretty much comparable to what the Americans see since they have no idea what cricket is

2. The ad isn't shown amongst other KFC ads and not during the cricket

3. They see several loud black guys (No idea could be west indian - only perhaps black) And one white guy during a crowd. To placate her, He offers them fried chicken which black guys were made to love
