Australian feminists have erupted with their typical fishwife screeching because an ad has dared suggest that boys like looking at boobs.
Feminists have decried as sexist an Australian KFC ad that shows a young woman inadvertently putting on a peep show for two boys as they sit in a parked car.
KFC has run a series of ads on the theme of a good old bucket of the Dirty Bird being used to defuse awkward social situations. They’re all typically Australian humour.
But, as everyone knows, feminists have something of the sense of humour of your average medieval inquisitor or concentration camp executioner.
In the 15-second video commercial, the young woman pauses while walking past the sedan to examine her hippie-style outfit in the window. She checks out her cleavage before spinning around to get a look at her butt.
As the woman leans in to adjust her breasts in a low-cut top, the passenger window rolls down to reveal the two pre-teen boys gawking at her. Their mother is also in the car, and she looks angry.
After an awkward pause, the young woman quips, “Did someone say KFC?”
The ad then cuts to the woman eating KFC and dancing with her bohemian friends at some kind of outdoor festival.
Cue the howling pack of fugly, blue-haired landwhales.
Collective Shout, an Australian group that advocates against the objectification of women, condemned the ad as “a regression to tired and archaic stereotypes where young women are sexually objectified for male pleasure.”
Well, I’m sure nobody’s ever looked at the fright-wigged harridans of Collective Shout as objects for male pleasure. Indeed, this is a long-running feminist grudge. Pioneering feminist Helen Gurley Brown, as a lowly typist, deeply envied the pretty girls who were the centres of attention.
However, Christina Hoff Sommers, a philosopher and critic of contemporary feminism, was among those who defended KFC. She deemed the ad a “funny” take on a “human situation.”
“KFC should not pull ad,” she said. “Don’t let the scolds win.”

This is not the first time KFC has run a-fowl of the wokescolds. An earlier ad, in which a lone Aussie cricket fan wins over a group of West Indies supporters was criticised for “racism”.
The inquisitorial loons of the left are nothing if not determined in their endless quest to be offended.
