KFC’s Black Metal Contest

Someone at Kentucky Fried Chicken’s ad agency has been watching Adult Swim too often. KFC is running the Wicked Crunch online contest, where participants must title a song from the apparently fictional black metal band Hellvetica.

Please note the delicious wordplay of the band’s name and the illegibility of nearly all of the genre’s band logos, and the deliciousness of hormonal chicken meat in general.

helvetica reminds me of a short-lived claymation or doll animation show they used to have on comedy central? maybe? puff daddy went on some rant over font usage on one of his products for sale. it was classic. i’ve been scouring the google lands tryin to figure out the title of the show, but alas…

nada.

Gutted. They stole the name of the joke band me and a guy from work (an advertising and design firm) formed around the coffee machine one morning - our tagline was going to be “more metal than a type foundry”

I just noticed that this is on the Canadian-specific KFC site. Does that mean something?

Yeah, example, look at Cryptopsy and look at Lamb of God. The best American “Death/Black Metal” died with Chuck Schuldiner.

I submitted “Chicken & Brimstone”
