i haven't had Extra Tasty Crispy in so long. damn, i miss it.

and KFC should try to be more competitive with their wing prices. for commercially produced wings, they are very tasty and have a nice bite to them as well!
 
spray paint the faces? WTF that is the most retarded thing i have ever heard. there is no way in hell they do that, it would cost too much money. wtf. maybe some neighbor kids do it, but that is about it.
 
Blah blah blah, who in the hell cares what she says or wants. Besides, PETA is in no way a valid animal rights organization, given their other debacles in the recent past.
Good for the Governor to tell her to "f**k off"

Okay, I eat meat, am no fan of PETA, and couldn't care less what Pam Anderson thinks of ANYTHING, but your post is remarkably short-sighted IMO. The commercial chicken industry, of which KFC is an important part, subjects billions of animals to conditions so inhumane that they have to be seen to be believed. Commercial chicken production is a truly revolting phenomenon.

By way of illustration, your argument is like saying Charles Manson did nothing wrong because he didn't actually kill anyone.

None of that means the state of Kentucky should kowtow to Pam Anderson - still, I have no beef (no pun intended) with PETA protesting KFC.

She's still entitled to her opinion, even if it's wrong and nobody cares about it.
 
i attempted to find a pic of what Ms. Anderson was talking about. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've seen pics of the Kentucky State Capitol building but can't seem to see any KFC founder bust pics.

Maybe they're subjected to inhumane conditions because they're not............. human?

Ahem - the word "humane" is not limited to human beings - ever heard of a thing called the Humane Society?

If you are seriously saying there is nothing wrong with subjecting animals to cruelty (as opposed to merely being a linguistically-ignorant wiseass), I'd submit that you're a faulty human being.

Again, I eat meat - I'm not trying to turn this into a soapbox issue - but chicken production is more disgusting and cruel than one can readily imagine.

Whoa now.... murder is wrong under any circumstances, even when solicited instead of committed. Slaughtering chickens is not. KFC does not slaughter chickens. They buy and sell chicken meat. If PETA (or you) have problems with the way chickens are slaughtered, then PETA (or you) should protest those chicken meat suppliers who do the actual slaughtering, most of whom (like Pilgrim's Pride and Tyson) are larger than Yum! Brands (owners of KFC). Because, contrary to what PETA would have you believe, this is not a case of monster corporate KFC directing the practices of small farm suppliers (like Manson directing the Family). What is happening is a high-profile but lower-rung national restaurant chain being held accountable for the practices of the world's largest meat packers.
 
As a Kentuckian myself, this is rediculous. I'm wondering what even got her started on this bullsh|t. I'm sure she hasn't visited recently, or I would've seen it on the news. Here in Kentucky, if anyone even near famous visits, it's all over the local airwaves. I remember a few years ago when Woody Harrellson had to go to court for something to do with marijuana, and it was in my little ol' county of around 15,000 people. Was the big news at the time.

This is an absolutely ridiculously disingenuous hedge. Even if you take the position that KFC has no direct influence over the conduct of its suppliers (which I'd argue is transparently false, since they're the largest purchaser of chicken in the world), it could choose not to buy from suppliers that subject the chickens to inhumane conditions, and it doesn't.

By the way, by what standard is KFC a "lower-rung national restaurant chain"?

must be a REALLY lame state if they have a fastfood joint founder's bust in their capitol building.

I'd also really NOT be surprised if Taco Bell actually DID buy the liberty bell 😉

I was making a semantic joke as "humane" refers to having humanistic values. Something that chickens cannot possibly posses. Grab a bucket of extra crispy and lighten up a little.

That's only one of its several definitions, the relevant one of which relates to treating things or people in a way free from cruelty. And I prefer Crispy Strips.
