KFC - Extra sides commercial

It just showed a few seconds ago, on AMC?

Anyway, teenage boy and an old man are glaring at each other, snapping "Macaroni and cheese" and "Mashed potatoes" at each other.

Turns out its a commercial for Kentucky Fried Chicken - order a bucket and you can get two extra side dishes, so no need to argue.

But in the wake of the recent adult bullying case - some 68-year old woman bus monitor on a bus verbally abused by middle schoolers - kids who were 10, 11, and 12, do we really need a commercial that shows kids it's perfectly all right to look at your grandfather - or father - in defiance and argue about whether you get mac and cheese or potatoes.

Just teaching kids that they have no reason to show respect or deference for their elders.
