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.

Sorry but this made me laugh and then want some KFC, great promo.

Misunderstood the title...

Somebody really needs to release a 'tsunami chicken' meal. Sounds delish whatever it'd consist of.

Now I want KFC. Who wouldn't want to escape a 10 foot wave and get some chicken anyways?

The joke is in poor taste and I like sick jokes.
