What happens when you type 2204355 into Google Search and hit the Are You Feeling Lucky button? Well, you come on a video with someone dancing, holding two chicken legs on a rainbow background. I have seen it yesterday. Of course, by now you can spare the hassle and just go to watch the video on YouTube.
The particular number and video has become a trending topic on the Web, since the beginning of this week. It even has made a place as an article by Megan Gibson on the Time Magazine's newsfeed blog. Some say that it is an offending video, because of the person's color. But I have not the slightest idea, if it really is? I truly hope not. The following explanation by Matt Zoller Seitz seems reasonable as an answer. Based on his research, the video has been edited from a KFC commercial. The intentions of the Google Search 2204355 meme or prank? Still unknown.
I cannot see any offense other than a waste of airtime? Is this a viral video because it seems to have no purpose. I wonder what the chicken legs signify? I guess we will have to wait and watch let me know if you find out anything else!

ReplyDeleteOh Rosidah, I've just revamped Luxury Indulgence. Pop over when u've time & let me noe ur views. Have a good weekend, my friend!
My goodness...what an annoying commercial. I knew nothing about this. It's something I wouldn't do I tell ya. Why oh why do people have to think this is offensive because of the person's skin color? If there wasn't a black person in the commercial they would get pissed. Grow up people. It's an actor doing a job. There are so many more important things to worry about. :) Let's see there is no brown, yellow, green, purple, orange, blue, grey people in there either. Should I be pissed off? pffft. Thanks for sharing my friend :)
