Installing Indoor Cat Tree

I was watching TV last night when the new KFC advert came on & it made me really cross.

It is advertising their "Mums night off" meal deal & hilights the fact that the plates & everything are disposable.

But,the final shot is of a little girl holding all the plates,bucket etc, & putting them in the bin

 

SHOULDN'T THEY BE RECYCLED?????

 

KFC is bad enough as it is, but this advertising is just plain irresponsible

 

I feel an email coming on.............................

[Lesley]

oo-er!!

 

I haven't seen it but it does sound irresponsible

[Cinnamon]

I can't get hold of a customer service email address for them ,but I do have a care line number (08457 532532) which I am going to phone later.

 

It make me so cross.

As if encouraging people to eat junk in the first place is not bad enough,they are also not encouraging them to recylcle their waste

Mum's night off!!

 

Is it really easier to go out in the car , queue, and drive home again with fifth rate mass produced food which is in all probability full of chemicals ...I would imagine taking half an hour......than to put some organic free range chicken breasts in the oven or under the grill, whack a jacket potato in the microwave and whizz up some coleslaw or a salad.

 

The road miles for the second option exist I admit, but are diluted as other shopping will have been done at the same time in all probability.

 

And all that packaging...ARRRRGH!

 

Not my idea of a night off at all. And I resent the sexual stereotyping....Dad can just as easily be the one who cooks in the family.

 

Oh yes.....and even though the organic free range chicken breasts may be more expensive than supermarket bargain ranges, they will still be cheaper than a mega bargain bucket full of yuk.

[Lesley]

Yes, why 'Mum's night off'? - in our house it would be Carl's night off - although, that usually involves curry and neither of us would ever set foot in KFC.

[Cinnamon]

I am sitting here in my office just waiting for 9am,when I can call that number.......

[Lesley]

It's a shame there's no email for them - I prefer to put things in writing.

 

I can't remember the words I want to use at the best of times these days, but I'd be even worse on the phone

[Egluntyne]

We're right behind you Cinnamon!

Haven't seen the ad but there is a feedback form on the kfc.com site

 

http://www.kfc.com/contact/ageverification.asp

 

This is the one for international consumer feedback - there is a separate US one. It seems mainly for restaurant feedback but there is a space for comments. Even if you get through to the careline might be worth doing this as well.

 

Good luck!

[The Dogmother]

Go for it Cinnamon!

[Louise]

Apparently I am too young to give feedback

 

It hasn't asked me for my age either I click and it goes to the page and then immediately to the too young message

 

I would have theought that by 35 I would be old enough but apparently not Anyone else having this problem

[hillfamily]

You go girl

 

My lot won't set foot in KFC (referred to as Kentucky Fried C**p)

[The Dogmother]

Well' I'd better not try then - that makes me positively ANCIENT as I'm nine years older than you!

[Tina C]

It worked for me - did you put the right year in (1961 works....!)

[Louise]

It didn't give me an option it was like it has locked me out

 

I must have done something wrong

[Egluntyne]

Well I'm thrilled and delighted!

 

It tells me that I'm too YOUNG to complete the form!

 

This has made my day!!!

 

I can't remember when I was last too young for anything!

[The Dogmother]

Ooo, Oooo, ooo, I MUST do it too - I've moved up an age bracket on most forms now - so flattery like that will go down well! Easily pleased, aren't we?

[feemcg]

I've never been back to KFC since I saw the Pamela Anderson boycott video of the KFC warehouse workers using the live chickens as footballs and kicking them into goals - nasty! (not that I went much before that, the 'food' is tasteless).

[Cinnamon]

The phone line seems to be permenantly engaged

 

I did leave the consumer feedbackthough,so thanks for that link

 

Just to clarify,we NEVER eat KFC either - its total muck.

Unlike my brother-in-law (the stupidest man in the UK) who thinks it is wonderful food & would rather go there than to a "proper" reasturaunt,because "at least yoU know what you are eating"

 

We wound him up (easy to do) the other day when he said KFC was excellent - I said that yes,I agree,it is EXCREMENT

[Lesley]

I have to admit a failure here

 

My son, brought up as a vegetarian but left to choose for himself as he grew up - came to collect Jazz from the Omlet get-together last summer.

 

He doesn't know Banbury very well and he was hungry. In front of all these like-minded people, and Jane from BHWT, he asked Clare if there was a KFC in Banbury

 

He still can't believe it himself

[The Dogmother]

Where's that gun!

I remember that!

That advert is disgusting why oh why do they put these adverts on tv when we are battling with child obesity

[theherd123]

Mentioning obesity - have you seen the advert about the pensions crisis?

 

It shows a very overweight child eating chips and the strap line underneath reads

'The obese child dies at age 53 so the pensions crisis disappears'

 

V thought provoking!

[Egluntyne]

The advert is disgusting for more reasons than those connected with food.

 

It is just so antiquated in it's stereotyping. It is like the Janet and John books of old when Mummies stayed at home and cleaned the house, little girls played house and Daddies were strong and silent and went to work wearing a trilby and boys played with Meccano.

 

And most unacceptable is the sight of the child FILLING a bin with the packaging from the meal, with no thought of recycling anything.

 

I mean...its got to be a joke...hasn't it?
