Protuberance Licking Good
Intergalactic travel can make
anyone hungry, or at least so the people at KFC are hoping. The advertising
wizards at KFC developed an advertisement that is visible from space and placed
it squarely at the intergalactic crossroads: Area 51. Now, when extra
terrestrials gaze down hungrily on our little blue planet, they will realize
that they have more options for sustenance then humanoid flesh-kabobs. I'm not
so sure that it will do anything about them implanting their fetuses in our
chest cavities, though. Perhaps some forward thinking incubator company will
come forth and erect a gigantic galactic billboard extolling the virtues of
their incubation systems as opposed to a human host.
It may all seem like a joke, but KFC really does have
a gigantic logo comprised of 65,000 1' X 1' tiles painted in the likeness of
its founder, Col. Harland David Sanders, dressed not in his signature
double-breasted white suit, but in a red kitchen apron. He is still wearing the
string tie, though. The whole logo is 87,500 square feet and is definitely
visible from space as illustrated by several satellite images of it.
Perhaps
this isn't such a bad idea. Maybe the aliens would take it as a sign of peace.
Many is the time that mankind has utilized the act of “breaking bread” to get
to know a new culture or to patch up differences and disagreements. The other
message that might inadvertently keep us safe from an alien invasion is that
our Colonel will cook you up with eleven herbs and spices and you'll be eaten
with a side order of slaw.
