Chickenheads in Marketing

Harry Shearer reports on le show that KFC has appropriated a famous Daoist (a.k.a. Taoist) priest in an attempt to sell more chicken sandwiches. This disregards the famed vegetarianism of the Daoists and offended people across China. Don't these people think about running these ideas by a test audience, just to see how they react, before they go nationwide –to an audience of 1,300,000,000 people? China Daily is complaining, the story was reported in the Independent, and UPI has it, too.
