Nothing says \u2018eat our chicken\u2019 like cult imagery, robed followers, and the vague threat of ritual sacrifice, and this is all set to a finger-licking beat. No, you\u2019re not confused, KFC is really sticking with a campaign that encourages us to quite literally worship their chicken\u2026 and gravy. I respect Colonel Sanders as much as the next vegetarian (so I suppose not that much), but most people agree this seems entirely odd.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"BELIEVE PART 2 : ALL HAIL GRAVY\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SVHHQKmzYOc?feature=oembed\"  allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" data-load-mode=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There is another advertisement within their current marketing push for the Dirty Louisiana Campaign that shows people under cloaks in another cult-like setting, eating the burger under headcovers. This along with the themes most have taken as borderline cannibalistic and downright culty, has been enough to distract from the food and cause confusion and leave people with curiosity rather than hunger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So is this just an ad, or is it another example of how trauma gets trendified? To unpack it all, I spoke with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tothinkagain.co.uk\/about\">Richard Turner<\/a>, a cult survivor and advocate about how this campaign lands when you\u2019ve lived through the realities of cult trauma.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard describes his three-year cult ordeal as \u201cvery insidious and sinister\u201d. A religious cult took over his life through a slow build of coercion, manipulation and control. His relationships, finances and work was completely under the control of the cult he found himself in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo one was speaking to me and treating me like I was a criminal just because I disobeyed them,\u201d he said. \u201cThey set my relationship up, sabotaged it and then almost creepily tried to support me through the breakup, when they were the ones who broke it up.<br><br>\u201cThey tried to control me, and when they couldn\u2019t completely, they all turned on me. It was just horrendous.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So how does someone who has experienced such trauma react to seeing such stereotyped cult imagery, when most people find adverts like the KFC ones are a bit weird and maybe disturbing? For those who have real experience with cults, is it less quirky, more queasy? What\u2019s being packaged here isn\u2019t just a gimmick, but arguably the aesthetic of manipulation, obedience, and coercive control, coated in eleven secret herbs and spices, deep-fried and rebranded for mass consumption. But despite masses being triggered on behalf of people like him, Richard said \u201cit\u2019s a difficult one.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXeEHI2ma-hLJie8Hymm0s294NR5Aw4dDW3y7IzxCtO6hOcu_pX_B0qFTgha_hxoeAg0XykiVwauABmCIgvY8nDNdrgGXAVmeGyB3ZzXpZKb614YDg80IBMXB0kIjkwW0iDDzLJZMA?key=W6LDf-79xot4mEoCU1RrgQ\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><br>\u201cWhen I watched that KFC advert, I thought it was quite funny,\u201d he said. \u201cIf there were people in the advert quite clearly being abused, that\u2019d be totally inappropriate, but if you really look at it, it doesn\u2019t look like, \u2018they\u2019re in an abusive cult\u2019, it just looks like an odd spiritual group.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd I think sometimes with stuff like this, there is room for humour.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it hasn\u2019t been totally plain sailing since recovering from his experiences of cult coercive control, and Richard says that there is still an issue of sensationalism surrounding the coverage of cults. \u201cIt\u2019s a fine line between being distasteful and acceptable,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve seen sensational documentaries and things that talk about cults as if they\u2019re some morbid novelty for entertainment purposes, forgetting that people\u2019s lives have been destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s those dramatic American voice overs that describe cults and experiences in the same tone you would get in a show about monster trucks or something, I find that so frustrating.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The people feeling weirdly towards media like the KFC ads and complaining that it\u2019s triggering to survivors have their heads in the wrong place according to Richard, and the mentality that we can\u2019t joke about anything leans into the system of control that cults themselves utilise.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a risk to people being offended by everything \u2018culty\u2019,\u201d Richard explained. \u201cCults have zero tolerance for a lot of things, and people can end up behaving in a culty way by criticising everything themselves, it can become the same kind of controlling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the things that happens in cults is that people lose a sense of humour, because of the control, leaders\u2019 jealousy, people are suppressed and not able to be themselves. So my first thought when I saw those adverts was \u2018you know if people are offended by this, I\u2019m not sure that\u2019s right\u2019, I thought it was a bit funny, we need to laugh at stuff and not be offended by stuff all the time.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s lighten up and dig into a wing then?! Well, not quite yet, because people&#8217;s fascination with the nature of cults is still a form of exploitation that survivors have to experience even after escaping.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne of the big problems in cult recovery stuff is that people seem to think it\u2019s a novelty, people don\u2019t take it seriously, even the word cult has so many weird connotations around it, because the cults that have been on television have been really outrageous or severe. It\u2019s become a weird, morbid novelty and people don\u2019t realise the emotional impact, that it&#8217;s people\u2019s suffering and maybe that\u2019s not just for your entertainment.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard doesn\u2019t disagree that marketing might be jumping on slightly strange cultural bandwagons in a bid to be outrageous.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com\/docsz\/AD_4nXcWv2ucS1ESGlGsD8zKxdn49A6cT4jWi61f9_aVDlvrs3QO-OR1FY10ORzFT9kagSq4BH3suO9e_ix0ieDdEAJ0VYBS2mrbV72350kVgxbUzXvJBjm5IuKuupn6XX5qvq3yXITR?key=W6LDf-79xot4mEoCU1RrgQ\" alt=\"\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a strange thing, it\u2019s almost fashionable to be interested in cults at the moment,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that can be really helpful in terms of getting people talking about it, but it can tip over into an odd space where ex-cult members are ashamed to speak out, because they don\u2019t want to have these ties that they\u2019re really weird or in a crazy religious group, or gullible in some way. Because that\u2019s all the baggage that comes with that word unfortunately, but anyone can end up in that situation of coercive control.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Richard now supports other ex cult members and people who have been victims of coercive control and manipulation, working as a counsellor and teacher, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tothinkagain.co.uk\/about\">raising awareness<\/a>. For survivors like him who share their story, weird pop culture moments like this are a reminder that we can laugh at the absurd, but still shouldn\u2019t lose sight of the realities they echo. At the heart of people&#8217;s uncomfortableness, are real people like Richard who may not be reacting the way that masses are assuming they are, and should maybe be left to enjoy a bit of chicken like the rest of us, safe in the knowledge that KFC definitely aren&#8217;t cooking people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-tf-live=\"01JX2XA9TSRHA3XQNGWENHJ68K\"><\/div><script src=\"\/\/embed.typeform.com\/next\/embed.js\"><\/script>\n<span class=\"et_bloom_bottom_trigger\"><\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KFC Cult &#8211; How does human sacrifice sell chicken?\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":196,"featured_media":1703,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[18,30,27,1,183],"tags":[63,35,69,36],"class_list":["post-1701","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-home-page","category-its-getting-bonkers","category-its-getting-bonkers-latest","category-uncategorised","category-latest-homep","tag-conspiracy","tag-conspiracy-theory","tag-mystery","tag-uk"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
