Do you love KFC? Like, do you really, really love KFC? Well, if you do and you also happen to be heavily pregnant, the fried chicken chain has quite the offer for you. To celebrate the 128th birthday of its founder, Colonel Harland David Sanders, KFC is trying to bring back his old-timey name and they want you to name your progeny after him.
According to a press release, KFC wants to re-popularize the name Harland (which was only the 3,257th most popular baby name of 2017) and is launching a contest for soon-to-be parents. The first baby boy or girl to be born on the Colonels birthday September 9, 2018, and named Harland will win an $11,000 college scholarship so one day maybe they can start their own fast food restaurant. Why $11,000? Its an ode to the restaurants famous 11 herbs and spices, of course.

I thought his first name was Colonel ?
Forget that, I want free original recipe chicken for life.
Will I get a bonus if the baby turns out to be a racist too?
Eleven grand won’t cover the cost of books by the time that kid’s ready for college.
Harland? What about if you name your kid Extra Crispy?
Too bad CheeseBurgerandFries is not available.
You can always call your child “Harley”.
Great if your last name is Quinn or Davidson.
Do I get a bonus if I’m black?
Wow. We should put you to work in the KFC advertising/ PR department because they gratuitously trash this great American, too. They do it with their insipid advertising, wheres the evidence that Sanders was a fascist. All I see in some quick research is the Papa John nitwit making statements that seem to imply without evidence that the Colonel was fascist. Everything else I see online are denials.
Isn’t Colonel Sanders a raciss? He probably owned a plantation with slaves on it since he was a colonel. And KFC basically only sells white meat chicken, no dark meat.
We eat there at least once a week..................
I know somebody who named their kid Harley Davidson.................
That’s not true.
We have dark meat every week................
Harry or Lanny works.
yes, yes you will.
Colonel Sanders Kehoe.
Has a nice ring to it.
Drawbacks, “Bird” “Birdman” etc.

Who cares?
I'm racist, sexist, and homophobic.
Deal with it.
