Icons
in the Ashcan
Using satire, a new twist on issues of slavery and
stereotypes
By Kim Kunda, University of South Florida, - Oracle
A man finishes the last bite from a bucket of KFC Fried Chicken, belches and
tosses the empty carton…into a trashcan. Next to it are other discarded
items, such as a box of Uncle Ben's rice and a box of Aunt Jemima pancake mix.
When the lid to the trash can is slammed shut, the [corporate icons], come alive
and an inner world unfolds in David Trotman's debut Internet film: Feets! Don't
Fail Me Now.
