Damage limitation or Coincidence?

A few days after the reports of the Bournemouth footballers having less than the perfect dining experience at their local Pizza Hut I see the chain is running an ad featuring only a black family. Coincidence or what? You judge.

Coincidence, that ads been running for a while.

How long ago was the incident? If it was very recent then the prsent ad wouldn't be being done in connection with it, for the chain to show they are welcoming of everyone, as these ads are planned months in advance.

As I sometimes work in commercials I know how long the turn around is, but as I hadn't seen the one I mentioned before I thought it might have been on the shelf for a while and had been whipped out toot sweet to help repair the damage.

So the Police advised "you should ask any Black Customers to pay up-front"?

You may well be right Andy

Pizza Hut are just like Macfuckingdonalds. They both sell shyte and anyone frequenting them gets what they deserve. Shyte scoff and shyte service.

No, the police advised them to get payment up front from groups of people who they thought may do a runner, as they had been suffering from that problem lately.

So it was just the resturant thinking that Black Customers would do a runner, but not the group of White teenagers who followed them in a few minutes later?
