KFC SUES CHINESE COMPANIES FOR ONLINE RUMORS ABOUT ITS FOOD

AP

Restaurant operator KFC said Monday it filed a lawsuit against three companies in China whose social media accounts spread false claims about its food, including that its chickens have eight legs.

The case filed by China’s biggest restaurant operator comes as the government intensifies a campaign to clean up rumors on social media. Internet marketers have been convicted of trying to manipulate online sentiment on behalf of clients by posting false information about competitors or deleting critical posts.

In an announcement posted on its Chinese website, KFC said one of the best-known fake rumors was that chickens used by the company are genetically modified and have six wings and eight legs.

  1. It’s true that a secret subsidiary of KFC developed an eight-legged chicken. The only problem is,
    no one knows what they taste like because
    nobody has ever been able to catch one.

    ; D

  2. I too love KFC. I can’t identify many of the pieces and I grew up part time on my Uncle’s farm. An 8 legged chicken sounds kinda cool though. I’d love to see that mother run around with its head cut off. :mrgreen:

  3. Vietvet: 1 madjack. You think they could come up with a three breasted broad? I saw one in a movie once.

    Oh, the trouble with Martini’s is they are like women’s breasts. One is not enough and three are too many

  4. Who would bother to develop an 8-legged chicken when the WINGS cost MUCH more per pound?

    Chinese intelligence is overrated.

    (and can you IMAGINE a chicken with 8 wings?! —a dronehen)
