Ignoring the “don’t talk with your mouth full” childhood rule, KFC is running a commercial to promote its Zinger Chicken Salads in the UK showing call center workers singing with their mouths full. Although meant as humor, the ad has garnered 1,040 complaints from people claiming the ad would cause – hold your breath – bad manners. It’s the second highest number of complaints ever received for an ad.
