    Is there any company that posts this kinda shit thats products arent just absolute ass? kfc's chicken sucks, wendys sucks, cyberpunk sucked. Like there's a strong correlation between effort put into trying to go viral and god awful quality.

      I am certain there's a metric of ROI for product development with diminishing returns that encourages shifting resources to marketing.

      like, "ok, we can either A.) throw out the production strategy entirely and take a big risk to improve quality AND try to expand market share with a complementary advertising strategy... or we can B.) send the executive marketing team to burning man and let them microdose in the office to come up with some cross promotional gimmick. B costs 10% of A and at worst is only going to cost some weirdos their jobs."

    The end result of all this will be “oh yeah kfc exists... but I’m still not eating it”

        for bravery and gallantry in battle with the colonel in an active warzone of a toilet, I present you with the highest honor of the civil service: the Order of the Quivering Squirts.

    It's not even a game console, it's an super overpriced prebuilt. It's going to be far more expensive than the PS5 or Xbox.

      yes, but does the precious ps5 or xbox1sx360xs have a drawer for keeping your tendies toasty warm?

      whomst among us hath not let their tendies cool while our gaming moments become heated... only to have our cheeks wetted with the hot tears of indignity from biting through warm Kranch into cold, mechanically-separated chicken?

    "The chicken chamber will keep its contents hot, ready for consumption during intense gaming sessions," KFC said.

    Nothing I love better when I'm screaming slurs and playing war crime simulator than a greased up controller

    Capitalism breeds kitsch and controversy to go viral, and this post is a transmission. Congrats on being a successful carrier.

      your contrarian post serves only to boost the signal back to the top of the feed and infect more minds with mythical notions of the colonel's 11 herbs and spices.

      corporate has programmed you quite well, gentle robot. slave to an illusion of agency, implanting false memories of a taste you can never know.

      at least I can feel the warmth of our manifested hell.
