I have always been a fan of KFC and was looking forward to their new ad campaign. But when I opened Instagram and saw the "red scarf" commercial for the Louisiana Dirty Sandwich, I was shocked and disappointed. The ad plays into deeply unsettling themes with occult and satanic references that many, including myself, find highly disturbing. The use of red scarves in the ad seems to be an insensitive nod to horrific experiences faced by Epstein survivors, who have bravely testified about the abuse they endured in red rooms.

See the ad in the Update, as well as my chat with KFC and my AI search that shows the UK consumers overwhelmingly demanded through their well organized regulatory system, to take it down. They start the ad banging luxe silverware on a table saying ritual ritual and then put the red scarves (napkins) on their heads and a "reveal" under a silver platter is made (in the E files this is something most of us found deeply shocking and obviously unacceptable, as well as obviously criminal). 

These references to satanic rituals and occult imagery are not only alarming but utterly insensitive to those who have suffered in such contexts. The ubiquitous nature of these themes in media, even slipping into mainstream entertainment like the Minions movie, is saturating our culture with devil worship undertones that are inappropriate and unwelcome. As a loyal customer who loves the brand, it pains me to see KFC engage in such harmful messaging.

It is crucial for brands, especially ones as influential as KFC, to be mindful of the implications their marketing holds. Advertisements should not promote or normalize themes associated with trauma, abuse, or satanic practices.

We urge KFC to retract this ad and issue a public apology. Acknowledging the impact and potential harm caused by such imagery can begin the path towards repairing trust with consumers and demonstrating corporate responsibility.

With enough voices, we can make a difference and hold corporations accountable for their influence. Please sign this petition to let KFC know that we do not want occult and satanic imagery entwined with our dining experience. Your signature can help convey the message that these themes have no place in our food choices. Let's urge KFC to uphold the values of sensitivity and responsibility in their branding.
