KFC Internet Escape Pod
KFC says their Internet Escape Pod, featuring a fried chicken drumstick door handle and Stretch Armstrong Colonel Sanders passed out drunk and slung over the top, is meant to help you hide from the barrage of Cyber Monday ads and marketing ploys. And I'm pretty sure it accomplishes this by inviting you to purchase a brand new Internet Escape Pod you just saw in an ad, and that is nothing if not a marketing ploy. Oh, and don't forget to take a bucket of KFC Extra Crispy Fried Chicken in there with you!
The only "escape" you'll get from Cyber Monday in buying a KFC Internet Escape Pod is that, at $10,000, it is definitely no Cyber Monday deal. What it is: a 7' x 7' x 6' 6" steel and stainless steel mesh cage draped with a Colonel made from 8-pound high-density architectural foam and (I hope) doused with 11 secret herbs and spices.
