Humor. Heard of It?
Last Month a KFC ad, showing call center workers singing with their mouths full to promote KFC’s Zinger Crunch Salad, which ran in England garnered a record 1,671 complaints to the country’s Advertising Standards Authority because many felt it would cause bad manners among children. At the time we said that was ridiculous and wondered if the human race was losing its sense of humor. Today, the ASA has agreed with us stating it did not agree with those that lodged complaints and that the ad was unlikely to cause bad manners. Parents teach manners. Commercials don’t. There’s a difference.
