The New KFC Commercials

[JuanBolio]

I can't speak for Kentucky Fried Chicken, but I for one think it hilarious when obnoxious children choke to death on splinters of bone in crowded fast-food joints while their parents struggle desperately to save them. Not only is it revenge from beyond the grave for the chickens (a concept which I find deeply satisfying), but it also serves as a check on unfit parents. Dumb enough to let your kid eat a chicken bone? You don't deserve a kid. Instead you get a dead, kid-shaped lump of protein and a huge funeral bill. Hilarious.

i fail to see the hilarity in the death of a child.

Really? Think "America's Funniest Home Videos" with a twist.

America's funniest home movies is just tedious clips of people falling over. adding death would not make it funny.

 

[JuanBolio]

Clearly your sense of humor differs from mine. I respect that.

fair enough

ok, continue the chicken-chat everybody

I'm sure you would never request the heimlich maneuver as a matter of principle, right? Or do you reserve the right to save your own life and those of your family?

The reason I ask is because if you were choking in a restaurant and surrounded by people who felt the same apathy as you, I wonder how you would feel about that?

If it were your child - would you sit there laughing? From your post, I gather the answer is yes.

Is the joke that the kids think KFC is actually food?

Have you tasted KFC chicken? It's actually pretty good when it's done right.

I've noticed a lot of variation among individual franchisees, though. Some have sloppy quality control and the food is too greasy or otherwise not up to standard.

Yep, too true. Our local KFC has, in a likely attempt to save money, started cutting back on the yummy secret spices, loading the chicken up with plain SALT instead.

I have no idea how it is done in the US but in the UK it is generally highly greasy slop.

Well, maybe if they stopped frying it in North Sea crude oil . . .

My least favorite fast food chain ever. Disgusting.

Obviously you've never eaten at a Taco Bell.

I think our friend JuanBolio is being intentionally beyond-the-pale here. Like the Monty Python sketch about the guy eating his dead mother. Literally.

Yeah, there aren't many kids I'd actually want to see die. I do enjoy seeing obnoxious kids get punished and/or suffer, though.
