KFC's 'finger lickin' good' ad called 'irresponsible' by viewers during coronavirus outbreak
FOX News ^ | March 13, 2020 | By Alexandra Deabler

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.

This is quickly degenerating toward Idiocracy.

Leftys were scandalized by Chik-fil-A, now it’s the Colonel.
Popeyes is probably safe due to the primarily black clientele.

Americans love food like sandwiches, potato chips, fruit, hamburgers, hot dogs, fish and chips, tacos, tortilla chips, nachos, and tons of other things we eat with our bare hands. Licking your fingers after they have been in your food, doesn't seem likely to increase your risk. How about going to a buffet where everyone is using the same utensils to put food on their plates?

Hey, why not.

In the past week, America has gone full-blown nuts. Everything is closing and the stock market is in free-fall.
So far 9 Americans have died (outside of Washington state nursing homes).

By all means, lets attack a 50 year old slogan of a fast-food restaurant. And lets pretend its important and act like we’re angry.

Then we can be incensed and unsensed with nonsense, all at the same time

I tried telling people days ago that a mask wouldn’t do most people any good.

Its OK, because we’ve all just washed our hands aggressively for 20 seconds or longer with hot, soapy water.

We have a mask supply. N95’s and real face covering respirators. The N95’s are for the time when someone gets sick. They are much better at stopping exhaled sputum than stopping inhaled stuff.

They’ve had that slogan for fifty years, but let’s pretend that they just came up with it so we can be OUTRAGED!

It’s not intended to pick someone else’s finger.

From now on, sex will only be performed with 10-foot poles.

Ugly women rejoice that now, they too can have sex.

I'm still trying to get my head around the Brits, as I recall the ad(I don't watch any ads, that's what a remote is for) it's about their chicken being so good you want more so you lick your finger clean for the flavor. Is it a thing in England where they lick other peoples fingers? Or is it that they are just pussified whiners?

Just one more reason to be thankful we told them to piss off in 1775!

It’s weird to walk around this small town in the rural boondocks in the middle of the country and see all the burqua chicks.

I have boxes of masks I was too lazy to throw away after I retired. I haven’t put one on except to mow the lawn once in years. 3 gallons of hand sanitizer, too.
