Apparently there's no fried chicken stereotype in Australia, particularly with people from the West Indies, and the ad is just supposed to be playing off the "rival team" thing. It can definitely be construed as racist, and it was irresponsible to run the ad without realizing that something racial could be inferred, but I'd hesitate to call it out-and-out racist.
Now, that's not to say that Australians aren't dirty rotten racists... |

Is it bad that I thought they were going to allude to moon crickets before I clicked that video?

Yep, the faux-documentary about if the South won the war. Good catch.

That's also why the blackface thing was allowed on air. Before Harry Connick set 'em straight, they didn't really know quite how offensive it was. |

Yep. It was just another ad until an american got a hold of it and kicked up a fuss.
Firstly, we aren't that familiar with african american stereotypes. Secondly, the people depicted in the ad weren't african american. |
