They should apologize for the idiot who plays the Colonel and the commercials where he’s romancing the syrup bottle. For those commercials alone I wouldn’t buy what they are selling...

What if he had ordered ‘2 breasts and 2 thighs’? That would be even more sexist at those fymules looking for any reason to be offended by the most innocent of comments.

Ever see the image of a Hooters’ waitress serving a drink to the protesting feminist? Pretty funny.

...As the Guardian reports, the ad was blasted by Collective Shout, an Australian advocacy group that campaigns against the objectification of women.

According to the group, KFC’s commercial is “a regression to tired and archaic stereotypes where young women are sexually objectified for male pleasure.”

Thank goodness. It's how the species reproduces. If the lesbians don't like it, hopefully they'll die out.

The female driver, probably mother of one or both boys, was doing some oogling, too.

Ah and that’s why you’ll be one of the first to Bernie’s reeducation camps. Boys in today’s woke world should only ogle at men’s crotches, not women’s breast. That’s reserved for girls only. How archaic of you.

You should give a warning before you post links to something like that!
