    Still, if I were KFC, I would not have Lin do the promotion all by himself but also hire teammates like Patrick Patterson and Terrence Jones to appear in the commercials and on promotion tours to lend further credibility in the KFC knowledge front.


    Both Patterson and Jones went to the University of Kentucky and thus must know a ton about Kentucky Fried Chicken.

    Lin grew up in Palo Alto and went to Harvard. Is KFC selling California Fried Chicken or Massachusetts Fried Chicken? NO!

    That doesn't concern me.

    I'm here for the great work by Clutch and the unique personalities of the Rockets fans. This hasn't changed because Lin is here.

    Tinman is a classic Rockets fan. He is declaring, "We are the Rockets. We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own. Resistance is futile."

    I think lots of people don't know what the K in KFC stands for. They purposely changed the name from Kentucy Fried Chicken to KFC.

    I wonder if I did a fried chicken poll in the hangout (without mentioning any endorsements) what the results would be.

    Well, I'm based in Beijing the past 4 yrs ( being our Asia technical HQ), and KFC is way more popular than McD. If not for the fries, I will not go to McD.

    Same in Malaysia, yup. Though the disparity is not as huge as china, but KFC seem better than McD.

    You haven't lived until you've gone through the drive-thru at Tammy Chin's. And yes, that is a real place in Southwest Houston.

    American Corps. use the ability to re-brand the image as a high-end product overseas partly because many societies still believe the myth that American = better.
