Noticed that every other groups got to sample the bird, so why were the Japanese guys excluded? Since I didn't see them eating it, why should I. What's next, asian drivers in car insurance commercials? I see a lot more Asian in commercials lately, but then they tried to sneak one by that makes us look silly or different.
