Eye on Blogs’ Brittany Gilbert picked up on this incredibly weird and rather offensive German product that, for some reason, features the Golden Gate Bridge on the packaging.
An article about the product in Der Spiegel doesn’t shed much light, except to point out that Germans don’t really get the whole black people/fried chicken/racist undercurrent.
[Sprehe sales manager Judith] Witting told SPIEGEL ONLINE the connection never even occurred to her. “It was supposed to be a homage to the American lifestyle and the new US president,” she said.
Still, though, what’s with the bridge? Nothing in any of the coverage we’ve read even mentions San Francisco.
