Topic: KFC is actually food. Who'd have guessed?

[Quemaqua]

There's this commercial and the chick in the office has a knife.  Everyone is screaming.  They confront her, and she says something along the lines of: "Okay guys, I'm eating KFC.  It's real food that requires a knife and fork."  And that's basically the end of it.  I thought about it for a minute, and the only message that I could get out of that was "KFC is real food"... and if you have to convince people of that, I would think that your restaurant has some fairly significant issues.

Who uses a knife and fork when eating fried chicken?

The funny thing is, that seemingly simplistic logic escapes most people. I implore someone on these boards to check stock prices for KFC before and after this commercial. It aired a few weeks ago. I'm sure that it went up.

Advertisers market to the most idiotic consumer, and for good reason -- most people are fucking stupid.

The point of the commercial is to make you think of KFC for lunch. Most people only get a bucket for the family dinner when they don't feel like slaving over a hot stove.

HAhaha that hilarious!

So now "real food" by their definition is food that requires a knife and fork.
