draftFCB and KFC team up to make people hate us even more!
Ok, KFC, time to go sit in the corner with Head On. In reaction to kids no longer paying attention to the television commercials, they’ve come up with a solution. Add annoying as shit high-pitched screeching into the commercial, and watch them come running! Sure, they’re probably running to turn the tv off, but hey, at least they’re paying attention. Apparently, the sound can only be heard by kids around 20 and under, and the first 1,000 people to hear it get a $10 coupon. Yee haw, Jethro!
Train wrecks may equal eyeballs, but they don’t equal sales, damnit! Why is this so difficult?
Anyway, watch the YouTube version below. The sound is probably enhanced because I’m pretty sure my grandmother could hear it. The KFC site version is more difficult to decipher. Mack was also emailed about the promotion. Via Adrants.

I couldn’t hear the one on the KFC website. I was pretty sure I could hear that tone about three months ago when I first heard about it. Just crazy!
Remember the ‘Tivo-proof’ free snacker commerical? The ‘eat KFC cause it will help you lose weight’ spots?Not a great advertising track-record for Colonel Sanders lately…
