Okay, this is cool:
As part of publicity for the new logo, KFC commissioned a giant, 87,000-square foot version of it that can be seen from space. The massive logo consists of 65,000 1-foot square painted tiles that were laid out in the Nevada desert over 24 days.
I guess KFC is trying to target those murderers in space.

Isn’t this one of the seven wonders of the modern world?

What would Harlan Sanders think, if he had lived to see this?
mikeomatic on November 17, 2006 at 4:13 PM
They ( whoever they is )did this with a woman, a model or actor a year or so ago…google earth even captured it for the world to see.
But the Colonel???
Colmes, you think all of Nevada is raaaaaaacist now?

That’ll show those “pre-historic alien astronauts” with their cryptic earth-art a thing or two about how to do it right!
bbz123 on November 17, 2006 at 4:17 PM
Yeah,we got yer lame crop-circles right here!

Oh yeah I hear NASA has dibs on free delivery.

Bah! It’s just an illusion caused by shadows and poor photo resolution! It’s a rock formation darnit!

I’d rather see a McRib from space….mmmmmm….McRibs.

This is a racist comment on extraterrestrials!

Clear fauxtography! I can’t make out a single tile.

Kodos and Kang are rejoicing

Aliens must think we are so weird. And they’re correct in that assesment.
Zetterson on November 17, 2006 at 4:46 PM
LOL!!
Is this just KFC attempting to break into the untapped interplanetary market? Brilliant!
x95b10 on November 17, 2006 at 4:52 PM
Will our interplanetary chicken overlords approve of this?
lorien1973 on November 17, 2006 at 5:01 PM
I wonder if you can find this on Google Earth yet?

…great….
…now a fleet of drunken, horny aliens from the planet Whup-A$$, are gonna know where to go to keep the party goin’ after the bars on Jupiter close.
…could’ve been worse, tough…could’ve been a Denny’s sign….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 5:13 PM
tasty!

Send this to Alan Colmes to check for a
racist slant. He’d find one somehow. . .

Surely you realize that this a warning to the Chicken Overlords, “Stay away ’cause we got seven secret herbs and spices for your ass.”
MOMinuteman on November 17, 2006 at 5:25 PM
Now the aliens are going to think that the Colonel is our god, and the KFC restaurants are our churches.
I actually found a live chicken at work once. Interesting story.

I was once on a commercial flight where half the passengers carried live chickens, pigs, and turkeys as “carry on luggage”. It was a bit messy.
peski on November 17, 2006 at 5:35 PM
There is a lot of desert out here. any specifics on the location?

…who were you flying?!
Aeroflot?
TransRedneck?
AgriAir?
Purdue Airways?
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 5:44 PM
Peski
I could see it now…
Stewardess: “Would you like chicken or beef for your meal?”
Chicken: “BGAAAAWK!!??!!”
Mazztek on November 17, 2006 at 5:49 PM
Me too Peski. Kyrgystan Airways, Bishkek to Osh about 8 years ago. It was funny as hell. Everybody on the plane smoking, aisles full of crates of chickens and a live goat tied to the bulkhead.
Had it happen several times since in Asia and the Middle East on local airlines.
The FAA sould never stand for it. No seatbelt for the goat.

Mine was on AeroPeru from Tingo Maria to Tarapoto.
The turkeys in particular were hilarious. They were all wrapped up in white cloth with just their head & feet sticking out, and the owners held them upside down by the feet. The turkeys all twisted their heads around so they could see “rightside up”.
peski on November 17, 2006 at 6:23 PM
Careful Colmes will start thinking OJ and call you a raaaaacist..
Viper1 on November 17, 2006 at 6:35 PM
I’m sorry to say, but this is not fauxtography.
Ian on November 17, 2006 at 6:57 PM
Earth chickens are a little gamey.
mikeyboss on November 17, 2006 at 7:04 PM
…not a good week for ‘em…first a straight jacket, then a migrane from being held upside down…then your head in a bucket and bread-crumbs up your butt….
…I hate when that happens….
Puritan1648 on November 17, 2006 at 7:59 PM
So that’s almost 300 feet tall?
I think that would be right from the size of the road next to the picture?
Dan866 on November 17, 2006 at 10:22 PM
So, my math might be off but isn’t 65,000 square foot tiles only 65,000 square feet. How are they getting 87,000 square feet.
MikeyB on November 18, 2006 at 5:14 PM
So what’s Chick-Fil-A going to do to counter this brilliant masterstroke?
RD on November 18, 2006 at 9:38 PM
How long before the next CNN expose’ (hosted by Al Gore) on the effect on global warming this sign had, by raising the albedo of the planet one hundred trillionth of a percent?
So where’s the viewable-from-space images of Aunt Jamima and Uncle Ben? Clearly it’s racist to not give them equal acreage. Of course, if the sign HAD been Uncle Ben or Aunt Jamima, then CNN could scream racism for the stereotypical depiction of giant African-Americans visible from space…
