:: Kentucky Fried Idiots ::

Contrary to popular belief, and recent television commercials, "all the excitement" of the new Lord of the Rings movie is not found at Kentucky Fried Chicken.

I hate commercials like this. Just fuckin' hate them. Not only is it false advertising, it's stupid false advertising. Do they actually think people will come to their restuarant because they expect to have as good as a time there as they would at the movie?

Customer 1: Ah, dammit. Return of the King is sold out.
Customer 2: That's okay, let's just go to KFC!!!


They'd be better off blatantly lying and saying Orlando Bloom would personally deliver your bucket of extra crispy if the drive-thru takes more than three minutes.

Memo to Colonel Saunders or whoever is running that chicken shack nowadays: People aren't stupid. The excitement of the movie is not in your crappy restuarant. All that's there is artery-clogging, greasy chicken, bad potato salad and a souvenir cup.
