Kentucky Fried Cruelty has just introduced a promotion for their new hot wings (aka spicy heart attack sticks) that will hopefully gain them some Super Bowl airtime.  Here’s the deal: if any football player or celebrity performer does the chicken dance during the Super Bowl on Feb. 3, KFC will donate $260,000 to the KFC Colonel’s Scholars Program, a scholarship that gives money to high school seniors who plan on attending public in-state schools.

KFC is notoriously known for having some of the most brutal and horrific slaughter houses and refusing, under any amount of pressure, to do ANYTHING that might improve the conditions for their animals.  You know I’m all for giving credit where credit is due (even if it’s a big corporation that I don’t particularly like) but this “generous” act is so obviously just a poorly disguised ploy to steal some precious airtime. 

The unofficial rumor is that Justin Timberlake and Tom Petty will be among some of the celebrity performers and that Ryan Secrest will also be hanging around.  Let’s hope none of them dance for the devil.

To learn more about why you should never, ever, in a million years, ever support KFC…visit Kentucky Fried Cruelty.  

In the past, The Art Of Elysium has gained the support of some huge Hollywood A-Listers, and this event was no different, with attendance by celebrities like Harrison Ford, Ellen DeGeneres, Courtney Cox Arquette, Ryan Seacrest and Rachel Bilson.

In 2007, the The Art Of Elysium set a goal to reach 20,000 children by the end of the year. To help achieve that, they participated in the Teen Impact Retreat in El Capitan Canyon, which gives teens with cancer a chance to make new friends, participate in exciting activities and share their stories. The Art Of Elysium uses drama, music, yoga and an array of other art forms to help children all across the country.

So why not be a pal and visit their website to learn how you can donate your time, money or artistry to help some pretty awesome kids through a tough time.
