KFC Tweeted A Hand Job Ad And Folks Are PISSED
We’ve all heard the term “sex sells” but Kentucky Fried Chicken brought that statement to an uncomfortable visual reality in a tweet early Friday morning. And the Internet got pissed!
KFC, if you are experiencing “hot and spicy” sensations in your genitals, I recommend you speak to a doctor pic.twitter.com/iGaYDdXTI0

Posted about 12:00 am PST, KFC Australia tweeted the above ad previewing their new “Hot and Spicy” chicken campaign. But no one seemed to appreciate the humor in seeing a young woman eagerly reach into (hopefully) a pixelated bucket of chicken resting on a man’s genital region.
Once KFC Australia “realised” the tweet was confusing — some thought it might be jerk chicken
Wait, is KFC introducing jerk chicken? Was that the joke?

— and offensive, since it looks like the dude is getting a hand job — KFC, most likely feeling a little hot and spicy in the face, removed the tweet and issued an apology.
We are very sorry for our earlier tweet on H&S – we didn’t mean to offend and removed it when we realised we’d made an error in judgment.

Hopefully, from now on when KFC Australia tries to sell us their breasts again, they’ll be a little more respectful.
I mean, c’mon, this isn’t Hooters.
