Let’s stop giving corporations free advertising by diverting attention to meaningless stunts like this.

Especially the worst corporations, like those in the fast food industry, that are a net negative to our society.

I’d like to see KFC and other fast food chains start being taxed heavily on undesirable macronutrients like sodium and saturated fat, individual items exceeding reasonable calorie limits, and regulated against marketing toward children like the tobacco industry (unless macronutrients of their meals meet health standards). Junk items should have disclaimer labels stating that daily consumption of those items will shorten your lifespan and/or cause health problems, just like cigarettes.

Obesity is our #1 public health epidemic and nobody’s doing anything about it. I think I read that obesity is a factor in 6 of the top 10 most common causes of premature death in the United States.

Over 80% of Americans are overweight and close to 40% are obese.

I don't mind if the "worst corporations" do something fun like this every once in awhile.

At least it distracts them from their focus of "shortening your lifespan".

Also as far as marketing to kids goes, KFC is not really the problem that other fast food chains are, so its not really fair to level that criticism at them.
