I do agree that there are way too many overweight people, and also that fried foods (aka KFC) are a big part of this, but you have to realize that they probably aren't even thinking about this. Basically, they're either trying to get more publicity and boost sales or they're trying to do some good with their cholesterol stores.  Personally, I think it's more the latter, but the extra publicity was probably one of the deciding factors. Sad, but true, most people don't do things out of the goodness of their hearts anymore.

I just think it is ironic. They are promoting obesity, heart disease, and a slew of other medical problems with their greasy, processed foods. Yet they donate $0.50 to the fight of breast cancer if you buy a whole bucket of that crap! They are defiantly doing it all for the wrong reasons. Maybe trying to change their public image a little?

Wait a minute... since when did col. sanders get breasts?  Seriously though I guess it makes some sense... chicken breasts / woman breasts, they probably thought the two mixed well so they started this.
I think it would be even greater if they were sponsoring PETA Seriously though I guess it makes some sense... chicken breasts / woman breasts, they probably thought the two mixed well so they started this.

JigSaw : LOL PETA! XD
I kind of see all this as a slap in the face to the people who have breast cancer since they are using their illness to make a profit.

Zamiel : Exactly! If KFC cared about breast cancer so much they would make a private donation. They wouldn't have to advertise for themselves.

I don't think that is is a good idea because fried chicken is junk food and if you eat a lot it won't cure cancer it will make you overweight. |

Notice in all the pictures it's the "Grilled Chicken"
But yeah, I think it would mean more if it was 50 cents from every purchase, not just from the buckets. But most people don't buy the buckets anymore so that is why they are doing it. Oh, and I think just a bucket of chicken is about $13, but with sides and stuff it hits that $20 mark easy.

Lets look at it from KFC's POV. The only cure to cancer is death. Once you die no more cancer its gone, its cured KFC shall be renamed to Kill For Cash, not just chickens but humans too! KFC shall be renamed to Kill For Cash, not just chickens but humans too!-------------------- |

Its a huge publicity stunt. They know that its going to get negative press, but they don't care cause people are going to hear the name, and think... "Man, I could go for some chicken."

Yeah, it's kinda stupid to use breast cancer as a way to get people to buy your food. While we're curing them, we're killing ourselves. Unless you give it to a homeless shelter or something. |

Irony yes, helpful? Maybe.
Its not like you really have the choice between curing cancer and heart disease. You can always choose to donate money to different programs, not just KFC, or you can eat at Burger King. I'm not sure if KFC views this as a chance to do good with their reputation or just make money, and we will never know unless we ask them (in which case, we probably won't get a straight answer). Seriously, if you want to cure cancer, just donate the money directly or go into medical science fields. Take your pick.

They7 are doing it for publicity and no other reason. If they really gave a s***, they would give the money straight without attaching the $.50 a bucket thing to it. -------------------- |

I find it kind of ironic how kfc is selling chicken to people that will eventually kill them while fighting something else that will kill even more people.

Vizzed.com is very expensive to keep alive! The Ads pay for the servers.
Vizzed has 3 TB worth of games and 1 TB worth of music. This site is free to use but the ads barely pay for the monthly server fees. If too many more people use ad block, the site cannot survive.
We prioritize the community over the site profits. This is why we avoid using annoying (but high paying) ads like most other sites which include popups, obnoxious sounds and animations, malware, and other forms of intrusiveness. We'll do our part to never resort to these types of ads, please do your part by helping support this site by adding Vizzed.com to your ad blocking whitelist.
