KFC, Chickendales, strip tease, Mother's Day

Mother’s Day is on May 12. And while you could always get mom a card, flowers or treat her to brunch, KFC wants you to give her 10 shirtless muscle hunks gyrating in Speedos — talk about “finger lickin’ good!”

As a Mother’s Day promotional gimmick, KFC opened up the website Chickendales.com where people can send their mom a semi-personalized video in which a muscley “Colonel Sanders” says her name (if it’s a common one) and his backup dancers strip down, in a Magic Mike style routine, ending up briefs that collectively say “How does it feel to be the best mom in (the state where she lives),” written on their butts.

They’ve got more legs and breasts than a bucket of KFC tasty original recipe.

Here’s a sample video:

This video comes on the heels of another hunger-inducing KFC campaign in which the company reimagined Colonel Sanders as a hipster Instagram influencer hawking things like Old Spice deodorant, Casper mattresses and fellow Instagram influencers.

That campaign only ran from April 8 to April 22. On his last post, the Colonel wrote, “As I continue on my journey, my spirit is realizing that IG isn’t real life. You know what I mean? That’s why I’m signing off and going on a super spiritual yoga retreat to get even more in touch with my spiritual spirit.”

Here are a few images from that campaign:

I may be a restaurant mogul and international inspiration, but I’m still just a kid who loves being in the kitchen. #humble It’s important never to lose sight of the things that make you who you are. For me, it’s being in the kitchen and making amazing fried chicken. That’s what got me here, and I never want to lose that young and hungry Colonel who spent all his time perfecting fried chicken. I’m still that kid who straps on an apron and makes fried chicken. And I’ll never lose that part of me. Never lose the things that make you who you are. This is part of my #secretrecipeforsuccess. #candid #candidkitchen #colonelskitchen #humble #friedchicken #advice #success #entrepreneur #behindthecurtain #keys #respect #inspiration #positive #positivethoughts #artistatwork #majorkey #cookingram #cooking

So in short, KFC is using sex appeal to sell us dismembered, batter-fried chicken bits. They want us to lust after the Colonel. Perhaps McDonald’s and other fast-food chains should take note and start using thirst to sell their nibbles too.

On second thought, we’re not so sure we wanna see a muscled up version of Ronald McDonald, especially if he’s wearing clown makeup.
