KFC Takes Advantage Of White Meat
By Wyatt Earp | September 22, 2010
Like many businesses, Kentucky Fried Chicken is experiencing a downturn during this bad economy. The restaurant chain’s numbers are taking a beakdive, and pretty soon they won’t have a pot pie to piss in.
So what’s a business to do? If they’re smart, they make an appeal to a man’s more primitive side.
KFC wants folks to watch its backside. Or, more precisely, the backsides of female college students it’s recruiting to promote its hot new bunless Double Down sandwiches.
Women on college campuses are being paid $500 each to hand out coupons while wearing fitted sweatpants with “Double Down” in large letters across their rear ends. KFC marketing chief John Cywinski says it’s an effective way to catch the attention of young men — KFC’s key customers and the biggest fans of Double Down.
Now, I’m no advertising executive, but wouldn’t putting chicken ads on women’s breasts be more appropriate?

Old NFO – I’m all about pleasing everyone.

mmm… yeah I’d double-down on those buns. The KFC sandwich too, probably.

Smite – I think a triple would be appropriate here.

Give those gals a few free Double Downs and the Colonel will double his advertising space in no time.

Giving new meaning to the expression:
“How’s my ass taste?”

They could try marketing an Obama Cabinet Bucket: nothing but left wings and @$$es.

Always thinking about the bottom line!

Will KFC also “bottom line” advertise the name of a good Cardiologist that will treat you after you have one these killer Double Down sandwiches?

Wyatt:
If you’re talking plump,juicy white meat, then yeah, BREASTS it is…(or they are)!
Either way.
Robert B: ROFLMAO!

This could revive their old advertising slogan: “Finger lickin’ good!” Only, maybe they’ll use a different body part this time?

Ferrell – both double-down’s will give you cardio stress
But what a way to go, right?

Roger – Good for what ails you!
Mrs. Crankipants – Baby got a lot of back!
J.J. – I’m surprised Shaq wasn’t in on the marketing session.
Robert B – Thread winner!
Proof – The Colonel made a Donald [T]Rump move.
Ferrell – I hope they don’t send them to a proctologist.
Bob G – Juicy and delicious!

From the looks of them, there was space for a larger message on their butts.
