My chest hurts just reading about it.
Hell yeah.(1)
KFC is moving to change it's name back to Kentucky Fried Chicken, in an effort to revitalize sales by maximizing it's Southern image. (2) Kentucky Fried will also start offering other southern-themed items, like Sweet Potato Pie and Collard Greens. I, for one, am all for this. In fact, why stop there? I say go all the way, and offer fried okra and black-eyed peas as well. And mint juleps. And when I pull up to the drive through, I want to hear a Foghorn Leghorn voice say, "Sir, I say sir? Can I take your order, sir?" This is better than Christmas.  --- 1) Thanks to RottenRyan for the tip. 2) Yes, I do realize that this is such a shameless effort to appeal more to the African-American community that it almost qualifies as satire. I mean, "collard greens" and "sweet potato pie?" It's like Saturday Night Live wrote the press release. |
