KFC Australia has deleted a tweet promoting a new “hot and spicy” product that came with a blurred-out photo of a woman and man appearing to engage in a sex act while sitting on a couch.
“Warning,” KFC Australia tweeted this morning.
“Something hot and spicy is coming soon.”
The tweet was accompanied by the hashtag “NSWF”, which stands for “Not Safe for Work”.
Social media users were quick to slam KFC’s humour, describing the tweet as inappropriate or just plain weird.
