Call me old-fashioned, but there is something deeply, deeply wrong about a rock band sponsored by KFC.
This one is for Betenoir who KILLED A MAN+ to make it happen.

Call me a snob, but I don’t even like the thought of eating KFC – and not just because of the taste. The Colonel’s smiling face looks so wrong here in Canada…

I can handle the Colonel. It’s Chicky who freaks me out: “Hey kids, eat my tasty siblings!”

Hey Kyknoord, I have a favour to ask. I can’t see your cartoons from my mobile phone (I use internet cafes to post photos etc but do most of my browsing/commenting from my phone). WordPress defaults to a ‘lite’ mobile version but I can’t turn it off. Would you be so kind as to turn it off from your end, please? Dashboard>appearance>extras

You know, there’s a quote-singer-unquote who kissed a girl to make it happen, so let me congratulate Betenoir on not stooping to sexual favours. Well, maybe on not -half-assedly- stooping *only* to sexual favours?

Worse, I think. At least beer taps into the musical image – well, more than fried chicken does.

The turkey sandwich I ate for lunch wants to support a band. I told it that it didn’t have enough capitol.

Good move. In any case, that turkey sandwich is headed towards an ignominious end.

I fucking hate the Parlotones. It’s all like “oh, look at me! look at me! i’m so avant-garde! i wear _make-up_! Also, the music’s just really kak.

Who are the Parlotones? Is this sellout the reason they’re not big in Australia?
LikeLike
Nah, it’s a local band. They aren’t particularly well known outside South Africa. Most people damn them with faint praise such as, “Oh, they’re not bad”, although some (like Arcadia here), think they’re just kak.

I killed a man in Reno because he tried TO MAKE ME LISTEN TO THE PARLOKAKS! Also: have you seen the Woolworths wine “inspired by the music of the Parlotones”? SO IT TASTES BLAND AND KAK THEN?

Ah, that explains the “justifiable homicide” verdict.
BTW, I believe the Woolies wine has an eye-wateringly high concentration of alcohol in it. If you’re exposed to enough of it, it just kills your brain.

seeing as we both have ex’s ourselves..i do understand your response..but in my own defense..He is the world to me and I married him (6yrs now) when he was getting ready to lose his job (with no savings after his divorce and fight for his son) and didn’t have another lined up yet. Plus, I just finally (this year) got my very first brand new car (ever) since my other one was 10yrs old with over 145,000 miles on it. I’ve argued with him for 2 yrs saying I didn’t need a new one and my old one was still fine..why have the extra expense. Didn’t get my BMW but did get a cute Toyota Rav4…sorry it’s such a long a defense.

The who? Never heard of them. Not THE WHO (they are a horse of a different stripe) Actually, I surf the channels during ad breaks. Ok I will tell the truth – I have heard of them and heard enough of them to know they give me a strange pain in my jaw after 10 seconds. I think it’s from clenching my teeth and trying not to scream. I don’t eat KFC because I find it greasy and nauseating and strange tasting(hmmm maybe there is some value to their choice of sponsor). I find that most bands that wear makeup at this juncture in the 21st century are just trying far too hard to be “cool” and are usually trying to find a gimmick to make up for their lack of musical artistry.

A rock band sponsored by KFC?
It could be worse.
No, wait a minute, it couldn’t be worse.
