This unvarnished bigotry will not stand, Sir!
Across this line, you do not cross(eth)!!!

Incredible.
In a blatant display of racism, bigotry, poor taste Krispy Kreme - purveyors of late night snacks and early morning tidbits - have turned to name calling and mockery to sell their wares.

How dare you, I say!
How.  Dare.  You.

Yesterday Apple used this image to sell their goods:


Today it's this:



And to further fuel their mockery Krispy Kreme added this "black face-esque" insultery:

Talk Like a Pirate day is just around the corner on September 19th, and Krispy Kreme is celebrating by giving you a doughnut. If you talk like a pirate, then you get a doughnut. 
If you dress like one too, then the bounty becomes a dozen doughnuts, but approved attire must include three items from the list below:

Eye Patch
Pirate Hat
Bandana
Peg Leg
Parrot on Shoulder
Pirate Shirt / Loose white shirt
Knickers
Leather Belt
Silver and gold necklaces and earrings
Pirate Hook
Pointy black boots or ragged brown sandals

What's your next ad campaign going to look like, Mr. Krispy Kreme Man ?  Oh, here's an idea:

"Puts on ya'lls black face and we'suns gonna give you a free Chocolate Kreme!"




Or how about this Krispy Kreme Man:


"Hey Vatos!  Come get a free Churro or somethin, man!!!





Just when you think that the world has moved beyond these petty stereotypes someone or something comes along to remind you that we're all just as bass-akwards as we've always been.
