KFC has apologised for a Facebook message that urged people to rush home during the tsunami scare in Thailand and order a bucket of chicken.

As people were being urged to evacuate beach areas, the company posted: "Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favourite KFC menu."

It prompted hundreds of angry comments on Thai websites denouncing the company as insensitive and selfish.

The message has now been removed and replaced by one asking for forgiveness.

The earthquakes in Indonesia revived memories of the 2004 Asian tsunami that claimed 230,000 lives, including more than 8,000 people in Thailand.

I find this morally objectional but it does raise a very important question - what fast food would you rush to get if a natural disaster threatened?

I'd go with Subway - very enjoyable hot or cold just in case you have to make it last.

you'd be better off with a McDonalds as the salt levels in the food would be enough to make you float in the water.

In the circumstances Id order something for every restaurant just to make sure food gets through . If subway got sunamied youd be sick you didnt have a back up pizza ordered.
Also best get some tinned food like my old mate Justin Casey would.

Chips from Supermacs tend to be like rubber.. a go large and youd have enough to float.

Plus it will still be good to eat twenty years later.

The tsunami could sweep away a lot of customers, but a lot of them will soon start drifting back.:):)

To apologise they may have to fook a shima.

The largest pizza possible then I'd recreate the last scene from the Titantic..

"I won't let you go Jack..... oi, that's my Hawaiian you're eating you fúcker"

Yeah that message asking for forgiveness did nothing to stem the tide.
