Tonight on “Don’t be gay, kids.”….

It'll be "the passion of the Christ" 24/7

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

And Clucky Tales.

Like Veggie Tales, but with animated chickens and turkeys. gotta drop the product placement, afterall.

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 6 points 3 weeks ago

With extra hate thrown in

"Remember children! The gays are actually demons! If you meet a gay, say no way!"

Christian Broadcasting Network part 2

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 4 points 3 weeks ago

Maybe they can take the 700 Club off Freeform and then shut down.

Totally underated comment.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 18 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah well see if anything comes out of it. I don't trust chicken companies that try to jump to tech.

I'm still waiting on my KFC gaming console.

[–] getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 6 points 3 weeks ago

In the meantime you could play the KFC dating sim

[–] EpicMuch@sh.itjust.works 16 points 3 weeks ago

I wonder if they will start syndicating Robot Chicken. Or The Kentucky Fried Movie.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 3 weeks ago

What a stupid idea. I hope they blow lots of money on it and it fails. But they'll probably do well with evangelicals and make a pile of money.

[–] TK420@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Money laundering is my best guess.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 7 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh cool, I’ll pirate that, too. Nah fuck it, what in the goddamn fuck is gonna be worthwhile about this?

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 9 points 3 weeks ago

Considering how heavily Psychotic Flavoured Christian they are?

It'll be a gold mine for shit post memes

The world needs more chicken sandwich based unscripted dramas. This will probably not be a massive disaster.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Sounds perfect to watch on a KFConsole.

[–] lemmus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Net-chicks and fil-A

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

They're planning on lauching it in Canada.

It will be called "Flick & Chill, Eh?"

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

$400k for unscripted shows? That doesn't seem like very much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Per show, I think. Still cheap though.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Like per episode? For crew, editing, production, sets, even without writers, that's still barely worth it.

I mean, you could film a podcast style show like Hot Ones, but getting celebrities on the show costs money, too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

It's entirely non-union. They pay peanuts.
