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.

There are people who think that they have something worthwhile to say and that the world should stop and listen to them. No. Their thoughts are inane, vacuous and stupid. They just need to shut up and stop thinking that they have a right to comment on whatever happens in the world.

I don’t think so.
There’s a lot of chicken processing plants in the US.
The Tyson one in Missouri near my SIL used to be populated by Mexicans who were displaced by Somali muslims. Now the Mexicans are on public assistance. The local shops have signs in Spanish AND Arabic.

I ate at KFC in Seabrook, NH the other night. It was a fantastic does of guilty pleasure. Their slogan definitely applied to me. I went back over the bones 10 times before I was willing to call it a night.

Get over it it’s an ad.

Just because you see something on TV doesn’t mean you have to go out and do it..

What morons

That has been KFC’s catchphrase for as long as I can remember. Now the flakes are getting upset about it?
