Perceptions

Dunno bout where you live, but around here there is a new Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial with a lovely black family. They are all sitting around the supper table and asking each other about their day.  One of the kids asks the mother what she liked about her day and she replies "right now". 

So, what's the problem you ask... well in my mind, it is a perfect opportunity to portray the [entire family].  Noooo, not this family.  No father present.  No mention of good ole Dad either.  Just a mother and the kids.  I suppose he could have been in prison based on what we are led to believe.  If so, one would think there might just be some reference to his plight.

I just believe the commercial, which is portraying a family should somehow include the entire family.  The Colonel missed a golden opportunity, at least in my mind.  This was afterall, not a low income family... appearance wise, it was upper middle class.
