KFC taps Reba McEntire as the next Colonel Sanders

The new colonel is a woman.

KFC, the fried-chicken chain run by Yum Brands Inc., has picked country singer Reba McEntire to appear as Colonel Sanders in its latest marketing campaign — the first time a woman is portraying the mascot, who honours restaurant founder Harland Sanders.

The colonel was absent from the chain's marketing for decades before being revived in 2015. Since the comeback, KFC has tapped various male actors, including Ray Liotta and Rob Lowe, for the role. Now, with a debate about gender diversity touching industries from Wall Street to Hollywood, Yum has shifted course.

McEntire, a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, will appear in ads touting KFC's new smoky mountain barbecue chicken.

Last time I ever ate there was a long time ago.

now because of yet another moment of lieberral INSANITY, it'll be permanent.

Enjoy your luv doll buddy, because that's where this social engineering is leading, long after the Canada you hate so much is completely destroyed, and just before we reach the end of the human race.

So basically when it comes to chicken, you like the cock.

No wonder you're so butthurt.
