Food as Political Speech Update
October 30th, 2009Author: DavidFoxfireEvery now and then I run into something that just boggles my mind, and it’s not an easy thing to do. A favorite topic for my “Holy Fucking Shit!” moments comes in the form of fast food. Ever since Hardees came out with the Monster Burger, store chains have been coming out of the wood work promoting meals that are less like meals and more like a Middle Finger to the Food Police. And while I am well in favor of flicking off the CPSI in their collective faces, I have to admit that some of these burgers are making me put up my hands and taking things a bit too far: Fully Loaded Fries, Angus patties, Meat as a Condiment, I can go on.
But now we have Coronel Sander’s pride and joy not only flicking off the Food Cops, they’re also flicking off an important part of the sandwich, the fucking bun!
Behold KFC’s Double Down. You will NOT see this on the KFC’s web site and for good fucking reason.
I wished to GOD that was a photoshopped pic.
Fried chicken patty, Special Coronel’s Sauce, Slice of pepper jack cheese, 2 slices of bacon, another slice of pepper jack cheese, more Coronel’s Sauce, another Fried chicken parry.
NO. FUCKING. BUN!
People actually eat this. Oy Vey.
