The advert (and adgrunts reactions here, mixed) is located here for super adgrunts

The beginning of the scandal back in May of this year http//ad-rag.com/120443.php
"The Media Guardian reports that KFC*s latest UK advert is being accused of encouraging bad table manners.
Apparently the ASA has received 340 complaints the Zinger Crunch Salad advert created by BBH."
Another report July 11 http//ad-rag.com/121870.php
"The UK*s most complained about ad, showing call centre staff talking with their mouths full of KFC, was number two on the list, as newspapers reported that despite more than 1,600 complaints from irate viewers, it was not going to be banned or withdrawn. The ad was created by Bartle Bogle Hegarty."
AFAIK it*s still being aired unless it has finished it*s planned media run.

what really annoys me is in England how commercials are taken off the air with only a couple of complaints.
IE, there was a KFC one that had them singing with their mouths full.. only 5 people complained, yes 5 out of the whole country, and they took it off the air. it was a brilliantly funny advert.
