KFC found itself in hot oil today after its Australian branch tweeted an image that shocked many of its followers.
In a promotional advertisement for "something hot and spicy," the company posted a sexually suggestive image that resembled pornography.
Shortly after posting the tweet, KFC Australia deleted the image and tweeted an apology for its "error in judgment."
We are very sorry for our earlier tweet on H&S - we didn’t mean to offend and removed it when we realised we’d made an error in judgment.
