The things people complain about!

[c c]

[quote=MEN]A KFC commercial which became the UK's most complained about advert did not breach industry guidelines, the Advertising Standards Authority found.

The Zinger Crunch Salad ad featuring call centre workers singing with their mouths full prompted a record 1,671 objections from the public.

Offended viewers said it encouraged bad manners among children by making it appear funny to speak or sing while eating.

More than 40 members of the public said their children had copied it, while many more complained it undermined their efforts to teach their offspring good table manners.

Nearly all the 1,671 people who objected to the advert said they found it unpleasant to watch.

The Kentucky Fried Chicken commercial showed call centres in a bad light, according to 108 complaints.

It also encouraged dangerous behaviour due to the risk of choking, 63 people said.[/quote]

Can’t say I was bothered by it. Neither did I feel inclined to rush out and stuff my face at the nearest KFC.

[nervous]

made me feel deeply deeply nauseous. pet peeve number 1: people who talk with their mouth full and make slurping chewing noises.

[nervous]

that took you ages. god, if youre not going to even try to knock 'em down...

I like the new one with the guy who sings out of tune.

Perhaps because he is a good mate of mine.

Believe me that wasn't name dropping....

I was hanging out with Patsy Palmer the other week - that's name dropping...

And I can get much worse....

But I never do it.

No, no...enough, enough.........

It may not be illegal but it's a disgusting, sickmaking chav-style advert. Two people singing badly with their mouths full... that's worse than reality TV; it's contrived slobbishness.

KFC must really be going after the lowlifes.

[motco]

They clearly know their target audience....

[johnny88]

Annoyed the life out of me, certainly stopped me from going to KFC of Saturday - went to McDonalds instead

If you don't like the advert/it annoys/upsets you, DON'T WATCH IT!

life's to short to worry about such small things

[banjolucknicker]

Personally I found it quite amusing.

Jeez, it's a bloody TV advert for fast food.

Some people have too much time........

[nervous]

you called?

"that means she's not cooking"
