I remember that bloody advert :lol: and the 70's DID rock ... :yahoo:
The 70's was much better than the current batch of high maintenance "gimme gimme gimme" Generation Y inhabitants ... :wave:

You'd a thunk that people would have got the message way back then ... fat kids eating KFC ... Smart advertising there :lol:

Looking at it today, and all the theories that surround KFC, why did they put horses and cows in their ads. ???

Same here Nick, in my early 30s and don't remember it. So don't feel too bad Red. Do you remember VHS at all? Or even what a stamp is and how it relates to envelopes? ;) Says he with a decent Laserdisc collection

I remember why they changed their name to KFC. Because people were put off by the 'Fried' part of the name.

Actually chucked our last VHS last year Steve ... it started chewing tapes and there really was no point fixing it. All recording is done on either IQ or the hard drive these days, so except for the kids videos we really had no need for the poor old VHS anymore.

so except for the kids videos

That's the reason we still have ours, went a bought a new 1 last year, about $100, so the kids could keep watching their vids. Should really go and get another, as a just-in-case.

VHS? anyone remember Betamax? Still used today in Sony TV cameras.

In 10 years we will see how Blueray and HD DVD fare....

At least with the old 70's Kentucky ads there was no false advertising.
No fit good looking people stuffing their faces with fried chicken and never getting fat of anything.

Can't say I remember either, but I grew up on a mix of Country ABC and regional tv (Toowoomba 10-4-5A). Who remembers 5A as a channel? Had a Beta VCR. We could get new tapes for it until the early 90s, but the belt was stuffed and we couldn't/didn't get a new one.

btw :stick: Mynaro - "Says he with a decent Laserdisc collection"
