KFC Thailand gets itself into hot water after posting this Facebook message urging people to hotfoot it back home

during a tsunami scare and order a bucket of fried chicken. After being denounced by the online community, the

company removed the message the next day, replacing it with a grovelling apology. Last month’s earthquakes

brought to mind the Indian Ocean tsunami that claimed more than 200,000 lives in 2004.

ªLet's hurry home and follow the

earthquake news. And don't forget to
