Some people have their panties in a bunch over the latest Popeye's commercial which features "Annie the Chicken Queen." Honestly, when I first saw the commercial I didn't think much of it. Now what I don't like is how when you've tuned into one of three black shows on all of television, they only show commericals featuring black people. Notice how those black commercials are never really shown during mainstream (read: white) tv shows. But what say you?
Popeye's has released a statement saying:
Annie, our new advertising character, expresses the heart and soul of the Popeyes brand. Her lively personality and energy underscore the pride, passion and authenticity that go into our carefully prepared, delicious, Louisiana-style chicken. We are proud of this campaign. However, we have heard conversations around the character. We are taking that feedback and are looking for ways to broaden Annie's appeal to our consumers.source
