He was 87.BANGKOK – KFC Thailand has issued an apology after Thai netizens criticized the company for a Facebook message that urged people to rush home during Wednesday's tsunami scare and order a bucket of KFC chicken.
The company posted this message: "As people we're being urged to evacuate from beach areas. Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu."
It prompted hundreds of angry comments on a variety of Thai web boards that denounced the company as insensitive and selfish.
By today the message was removed and replaced by one that asks for forgiveness.
Wednesday's earthquakes in Indonesia revived memories of the 2004 Asian tsunami that claimed 230,000 lives, including more than 8,000 people in Thailand.
