Ad and Corporate Responsibility

NEW YORK (Reuters) - From space, extraterrestrials and astronauts can look back to earth and see The Great Wall of China - and KFC’s Colonel Sanders. 

This could go horribly wrong if the extraterrestrials turn out to be giant space chickens.

The KFC Corp. on Tuesday launched a rebranding campaign with an 87,500 square-foot image of Colonel Sanders in the Nevada desert which the company says makes Kentucky Fried Chicken the world’s first brand visible from space.

“If there are extraterrestrials in outer space, KFC wants to become their restaurant of choice,” KFC President Gregg Dedrick said in a statement.

See, Gregg, I don’t think you thought this over very well.  Everyone knows that aliens do not eat chicken.  They eat PEOPLE you dumbass!!!

I am appalled.  Corporate irresponsibility has reached a new low when a company will risk the security of our entire planet for a publicity stunt.
