I don't understand how this would help to sell ice cream in Russia. It is so retarded and somewhat racist on top of that. I'm not saying it isn't also funny, 'cuz it is, and I am in no way trying to start a political thread, but this is kinda wierd too.

I bet if you asked 300 Russian citizens if the ad was racist, there would be an overwhelming sentiment of no....

Cultural differences/ideals.

You want racist treats? Hungary has black candy called Negro and the logo is a black shillouette of someone holding a chimney sweeper.
