KFC Makes Britain’s Most Offensive Commercial

People hate KFC. Really, really hate it. Why? Because their treatment of chickens is exceptionally cruel, with workers in one American plant ripping beaks off live animals and then twisting their heads off? No. Because Mike Skinner tells us to hate them? No. Because their coleslaw is rubbish? No.

The reason most people hate KFC is because of that dreadful advert where people sing with their mouths full of chicken.

If you haven’t seen it already, this is basically what happens. A
bunch of fat call-centre workers stuff their faces full of Zinger
Chicken Salads and sing to each other. And it’s simply hilarious.

Well, that was probably the intention. In reality, it couldn’t be
more annoying if it was a three-hour advert of a man chewing a burger,
shot from inside the mouth so you could see the food being mashed into
goo, with the sound turned up so high you can hear every slurp and
squelch in crystal-clear THX surround sound (Buy).

The advert is now Britain’s most complained about commercial, with
910 people ringing to lodge their disgust in less than two weeks. The
majority of these are thought to be from parents worried that it will
either teach their kids bad manners, or that it’s actually a choking
hazard.

KFC are refusing to withdraw the commercial, saying "It’s meant to
be funny". Listen, FAQ U is meant to be funny as well, but most people
would rather slide shards of glass under their fingernails than watch
that. Know when to quit. Do something else.

The advert has now surpassed such bad taste classics as the Pot
Noodle horn advert, the Mr Kipling nativity birth advert, and even the
Wrigleys commercial where a man coughs up a dog.

So now the heat is on to to make an even more offensive commercial
to sell things. What are your suggestions? hecklerspray would like to
see Gary Glitter raping a goat dressed as a nun in an orphanage singing
Tease Me by Chaka Demus & Pliers (CDs) to advertise toothpaste. Leave
your suggestions below.
