Amid the coronavirus outbreak, KFC has suspended advertisements using the brand’s classic “Finger Lickin’ Good” slogan in the U.K. after the Advertising Standards Authority reportedly received multiple complaints concerning a new ad that launched two weeks ago.
The ASA received 163 complaints from viewers after the ad debuted on television, a spokesperson confirmed to Fox News. The commercial, called "Piano," showed multiple people licking their fingers while eating in public places.

Someone should take a Pill and RELAX
Wasn’t that the ad campaign for Barrett .50 BMG rifles?

It’s a relief to know that people are so conscientious with regard to the really important stuff.
Since that hasn’t been used by ATT since the late 80s, probably little controversy.
Just what I would expect from KFC.
I expect FReepers to add their own personal touch with various ad campaigns.
“Melts in your mouth, not in your hands”?
Grow up, get a life and climb down from your pedestal... Snowflakes, will be snowflakes.
I bite my thumb at thee, sirrah. (Elizabethan version of flip-off)
And this is the kind of discussion that people feel is necessary if you have a nation of morons who depend on the government to tell them how to live every moment of their lives.

Who the hell even knows what The ASA is or even thought to call them? I’d like to make a call. I call b.s.
Maybe they should hire that Utah Jazz player for the ads.
This kind of crap reaction and culture is what the chronically bitchy, ultra-sensitive left has given us over the years. We as a nation need to lighten up a bit and quit taking ourselves so seriously.
with a 2x4!
Three weeks ago I witnessed a guy at the local sub shop that came in with a mask and gloves on. He ordered his sandwich, took off the mask and gloves(improperly) and touched his food with his unwashed bare hands. I chuckled and left the store.
Your knowledge of music is required. Do you remember the Clash’s “Fingerpoppin’” from the appropriately titled Cut the Crap album?
Man, if we had a KFC around here I’d go out and buy me a whole bucket of KFC and enjoy the hell out of it. And I’d like my fingers until they bled. Now THAT might be a detriment to my health.
