Also of note,
Variety's Marc Graser pointed out a new
Adage article that has a quote from a KFC spokesman that involves
The Walking Dead. Viewers weren't thrilled when the fast food company was advertised right after a gruesome kill on the show and the company felt compelled to issue a statement. I guess watching zombies eating bloody guts just doesn't make people hungry for fried chicken like it used to. You can see what all the fuss is about in the video below.
A KFC spokesman has said that the placement was "unfortunate" and that the marketer has
"taken steps" to avoid a repeat.
The Walking Dead airs Sunday nights at 9/8c on AMC and stars: Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, Scott Wilson, Emily Kinney, Sarah Wayne Callies, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, IronE Singleton, Danai Gurira, Melissa Suzanne McBride, Michael Rooker, Lauren Cohan, Vincent War, Chad L. Coleman, & David Morrissey.
