Portraying KFC’s Colonel as a sadistic prison warden, this new Kentucky Fried Cruelty campaign, in three videos, explores the supposed life of a chicken while under the control of KFC. There’s kicking, beating, drugs, electrocution – all the necessary elements one might imagine in a Hostel or Saw movie.
Though PETA is famous for exaggerating things and perhaps extending one “caught on tape” transgression to an organization’s entire operation, these video certainly support its argument that KFC isn’t so merciful when it comes to killing chickens.
Supposedly, these spots were set to air during the Super Bowl but we can completely understand why FOX and the NFL passed. If they’re going to ban the word “beaver,” they’re certainly not going to let chickens (even fake ones that look oddly like Subservient Chicken) get tortured on-screen.
