the Kentucky Fried Thread

New studies conducted at Stanford University indicate a clear link between the “mullet” hair-do, and high blood pressure. - Scientists believe that the high blood pressure may come from long periods of elevated stress levels caused by the feeling that everybody is laughing at you behind your back, because they think you can’t afford a decent hair cut. - well … that, coupled with the realisation that you don’t recieve any discount for only getting 75% of an actual hair cut.

It’s been WAY too long since I rented Kentucky Fried Movie!

Rented? Heh, I’ve owned that movie for a decade or more. Every martial artist should have it for the excellent Enter The Dragon parody (you have our gwwwaatttitude!) and everybody else AND all martial artists should have it for Catholic High School Girls In Trouble. The rest of the movie is bonus material! And damn good bonus material at that! :wink:

I have indeed been negligent. I’m so ashamed! :smiley:

and wasn’t it Jackie Chan’s American debut??

what about “They Call me Bruce”?

any takers?

I thought it was pretty funny.

yep

rtb, it’s always nice when you come slumming over here at the regular forum:D

Karate Fried Chicken

KFC is fairly successful in Asia because it’s easier to get chicken than corn-fed beef (a basic requirement for most fast food hamburger chains). The KFC in China used to have a Col. Saunders statue outside with slanty eyes.

KFC Commissions Tasty Martial Arts-Inspired Mural to Launch All New Teriyaki Boneless Wings

‘Karate-Kickin’ Colonel’ Mural Painted with Special Ingredient to be Auctioned for Charity

LOUISVILLE, Ky., July 10 /PRNewswire/ – To showcase the unique flavor of KFC’s new Teriyaki Boneless Wings, Kentucky Fried Chicken challenged experiential artist Phil Hansen to create a one-of-a-kind mural of Colonel Sanders. To give the mural a tasty twist, Hansen used KFC’s new boneless wings’ Teriyaki sauce as his medium.

“When we saw Phil’s work and his karate-style painting technique, we just knew he had to be involved in the launch of KFC’s new Teriyaki Boneless Wings,” said James O’Reilly, chief marketing officer for KFC. “After all, the distinctive taste of the new Teriyaki wings delivers a one-two punch – restaurant-style flavor at an inexpensive price.”

Karate Kickin’ Colonel

It wouldn’t be a KFC product without some sort of secret, and Hansen’s mural is no different. Hansen, from Eden Prairie, Minn., employed a specially concocted ‘paint’ made from Teriyaki sauce to create an image that tastes as good as it looks.

Drawing inspiration from the Japanese martial art to reflect the origins of the Teriyaki sauce, Hansen used his unique ‘karate-painting’ technique by coating his hands and feet (and even his cheek at one point) in the ‘paint’ and karate chopping, kicking and head butting a wall-sized canvass.

A minute-long film posted on YouTube shows the mural’s eight hour production in high speed, finally revealing Colonel Sanders in mid karate kick. To view the video, visit http://www.kfc.com/ or http://www.youtube.com/justanotherphil. The finished painting will be auctioned on eBay with proceeds benefiting Colonel’s Scholars, a charitable program providing students nationwide with much needed college scholarships.

Teriyaki Boneless Wings, the latest innovation from KFC, are boneless 100% chicken breast, marinated and breaded in KFC’s special seasonings and fried to crispy golden perfection. Then, they are fully dipped in KFC’s Teriyaki sauce, the perfect balance of sweet and tangy flavors. The new Teriyaki Boneless Wings Combo (six boneless wings, potato wedges and a medium drink) will be available starting July 10 and priced at $3.99, plus tax. Prices may vary by location.

KFC Japan Celebrates ‘Colonel Day’ With Fried Chicken Computer Accessories, Jewelry
posted on 2014-09-04 22:00 EDT by Lynzee Lamb

If only there was a way to make computer keyboards and mice tastier, crunchier, and fried. KFC Japan is ready to fill the marketing void in chicken-based computer products with some limited edition items to celebrate “Colonel Day.”

Colonel Sanders is celebrating his birthday, and on the auspicious day of its creator, KFC Japan is holding a Twitter campaign where participants have a chance to win one fried-chicken mouse, one keyboard with chicken keys, and one giant fried USB memory stick.


Tasty.


Tastier.


Tastiest.

The fast-food franchise is also giving away 47 pairs of fried-chicken earrings. In total, 50 winners will be chosen after the campaign ends on September 24.

To enter, Twitter users need to follow KFC, link to the campaign’s promotional page with the hashtag “#KFC” (“KFC Colonel’s Day”).

If you only glance at it, that ‘drumstick’ looks a lot like something else, and it ain’t a piece of chicken, unless it’s chicken that’s been eaten, digested and excreted. And can someone actually ‘win’ with earrings like that?:confused:

Fried chicken takeaway called ‘Hitler’ opens in Thailand and comes complete with logo of Nazi leader in a bow tie
Bizarre restaurant opened last month in Bangkok
Images of Hitler have also been seen on t-shirts in Thailand

Schoolchildren dressing up as Nazis and a billboard advert showing Hitler were just the start.
Thailand’s obsession with so-called ‘Nazis chic’ just won’t go away - and now a fried chicken takeaway called Hitler - complete with a logo showing the Nazi leader in a bow tie - has opened its doors.
The bizarre restaurant opened last month in Thailand and images of it are doing the rounds on Twitter as shocked customers take photos of the offensive eatery.

Among the grub on sale includes fried chicken and chips, burgers and kebabs.

Londoner Andrew Spooner, who spotted the takeaway, tweeted: 'Very bizarre Hitler Fried Chicken shop in Thailand. I kid you not. Complete with pic of Hitler in bow tie.
Alan Robertson, 43, who lives in Bangkok, said: 'The place opened last month and nobody quite knows what to make of it.
'I went in for a bite last week and got some fried chicken, which was pretty good, and asked the guy behind the counter why it was called Hitler.
‘He just shrugged his shoulders and said the owners had thought it was good image.’
Cartoon pandas, Teletubbies and Ronald McDonald have all been spotted on show around the capital Bangkok.
The craze has seen more and more teenagers strutting around in T-shirts bearing cartoonish images of the Nazi dictator.


‘Nazi chic’: A shocking new trend has seen Bangkok flooded with cartoonish images of Hitler - including a popular design in which the dictator is merged with red-haired McDonalds mascot Ronald McDonald



Incongruous: Cartoon pandas and Teletubbies are among the characters merged with Hitler in the bizarre fashion trend. The designs feature a characteristic vicious expression and variety of Nazi symbols.


Popularised: Thai Shopkeepers admit that foreign tourists often complain about their Hitler kitsch merchandise - but say the t-shirts are extremely popular with young people

In a particularly popular design, Hitler is transformed into a cartoon Ronald McDonald, the fast-food chain’s clown mascot, sporting a bouffant cherry-red hairdo and a stern look.
On another T-shirt the Führer is shown in a lovely panda costume with a Nazi armband.
In September 2011 in the northern city of Chiang Mai, a group of high school students showed up for sport day in homemade Nazi uniforms, complete with swastika armbands and toy guns.
Leading them was a teenage girl dressed in a faux SS uniform with a fake Hitler mustache.
Locals cheered the students merrily from sidewalks as foreign tourists reportedly looked on aghast.
In 2009, a waxworks museum in the seaside resort town of Pattaya advertised itself with a giant billboard featuring the Führer with the legend in Thai: ‘Hitler is not dead!’
In 2007, hundreds of students at a Bangkok school staged a similar Nazi-themed costume parade.
Following international outcries, teachers at both schools apologised, saying they had no idea the students had planned to dress up as Nazis.

Lovesick Chinese woman, 26, dumped by boyfriend spends entire week in KFC
Depressed Tan Shen, 26, from Chengdu, in China’s southwest Sichuan Province, decided she needed some fried comfort food to get over her ex
Yahoo News – Tue, Oct 21, 2014


Central European News - Depressed: Tan Shen makes herself at home in KFC. (CEN)
A lovesick Chinese woman dumped by her boyfriend spent an entire week in a KFC eating chicken wings.

Depressed Tan Shen, 26, from Chengdu, in China’s southwest Sichuan Province, decided she needed some fried comfort food to get over her ex.

She stopped off at a KFC near a train station by her home, but ended up staying for a whole week because she ‘needed time to think’.

Tan even phoned in sick to work to stay at the KFC, with her break-up clearly hitting her very hard.

She said: ‘I was walking around feeling miserable and decided to stop off at the KFC at the train station.

'I hadn’t planned on staying there long, I just wanted some chicken wings.

'But once I got in there and started eating I decided I needed time to think.


Tan Shen spent a marathon session in KFC because she ‘needed time to think.’ (CEN)

‘I didn’t want to go back to my apartment because it was full of memories of him. So I stayed.’

After a few days employees at the chicken shop began to get concerned.

Worker Jiang Li Lung, 22, said: 'We work in shifts here and the restaurant is open 24 hours a day, so we get a lot of people coming through.

'At first no one really noticed her.

'But after a few days I began thinking she looked really familiar.

'Then I realised we had been serving her for the past three days and that she hadn’t actually left.


Tan Shen eventually left the KFC when she was approached by local media. (CEN)

'When we asked her if she was ok, she said she was and just needed time to think.

‘And then asked for another box of chicken wings with extra large fries.’

He said the woman wasn’t doing anyone any harm so they let her stay.

He added: ‘She was after all a paying customer, even if a bit of an odd one.’

After a week Shen decided she’d had enough when local media turned up and decided to write about her.

'I decided the best thing to do would be to leave the city and go back to my parents.


Tan Shen stayed in the KFC until she ‘sick of the taste of chicken’. (CEN)

'I had already told work I was off sick, so phoned them and said I was leaving.

‘And I was getting sick of the taste of chicken so there was no point in staying there anymore.’

She then boarded the next train to her parents’ home in Quingdao city in east China’s Shandong Province and left.

Waitress Jiang Li Lung said: ‘I guess we kind of miss her. It certainly made work more interesting.’

KFC has introduced a hot dog wrapped in a cheese-stuffed chicken breast.

The so-called Double Down Dog has caused a stir on social media.

It appears to be a hot dog version of the infamous “Double Down,” a sandwich that uses chicken patties in place of bread.

This is the totally absurd KFC Double Down Dog, spotted in the wild. From @TheDaddest:
7:22 AM - 26 Jan 2015

While this menu item is bizarre, it represents a few food trends.

Restaurants have been ramping up offerings of protein as more diners watch their carbs. Taco Bell released an entire menu of protein-heavy items last year.

And the Double Down Dog’s popularity on social media is free advertising for KFC.

Here’s a photo of the original Double Down.
