KFC Australia tersilap langkah dalam mempromosi produk baharu apabila netizen mengkritik hebat tindakan syarikat makanan segera itu menggunakan gambar yang dianggap berunsur lucah.
Dalam satu tweet, KFC Australia menyertakan gambar seorang wanita menghulur tangan ke arah kelangkang lelaki yang dikaburkan.
Imej yang kononnya menggambarkan bekas berisi ayam yang diriba lelaki tersebut tidak dapat diterima oleh netizen yang rata-rata menyifatkan iklan tersebut tidak sensitif.
Beberapa netizen turut berpendapat iklan tersebut tidak sesuai untuk kanak-kanak dan turut merendah-rendahkan wanita.

I wish 1) I wasn't vegetarian and 2) I didn't insist on eating real food, so I could boycott @KFCAustralia for promoting misogyny.
