So before you check your calendar, no it’s not April 1st and this is real: KFC have made a virtual reality game to help train their new employees in the fine art of cooking delicious chicken. Fair enough, that seems a good idea, that is until you see what they have made.
Set in what appears to be a previously unseen section of Bioshock’s underwater city of Rapture, the Colonel himself instructs the employee via a crackly old radio. Robotic hands demonstrate the tasks, inspecting, rinsing, breading, racking, and pressure-frying, and then it’s up to the now terrified new employee to follow the Colonel’s instruction or “Be trapped forever” in the room.

“The game is intended to supplement the existing Chicken Mastery program, not replace it,” said a KFC representative. “This is intended to be a fun way to celebrate the work KFC’s more than 19,000 cooks do every day in every restaurant across the U.S. in an engaging way.”

Does it have a trophy support? If so wouldn’t mind nabbing a free Platinum and get the job easily!

19,000 cooks delete all social media accounts and any hint of online job reference…gone!
My favourite fast food outlet, but really? I demolished a Fillet meal earlier today totally unaware of the torture that those poor lambs are subjected to :P

It’s chicken, not lamb. Hints in the name.

I believe freezebug was referring to the employees :)

Haha, thanks for the clarification Bony, I was indeed referring to the servers of the food and not the food served.
I haven’t eaten Lamb for years, all too greasy for me, a Lamb-burger would likely induce a chuckfest :P

I was trying to be funny… I failed. I’ll blame the hangover though.

The sense of relief a new employee might feel having completed that ordeal is undeniable.

Didn’t they miss out step 2, where you pee in the fryer? Or step 4, where you attempt to separate chicken from rats?

They take a dump in it instead as part of KFC’s organic range.

Not sure thats on par with health & safety – you could burn your butt cheek.
The Lone Steven
It is their special secret. Burnt arse hair ontop of the shit.
Oh, it would be a reaal shame if anyone was reading this during their lunch break and had their lunch ruined. A reaaal shame.

Oddly enough, I think I’m gonna delay my lunch today ’til 1 as opposed to 12.
