May 4, 2017 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

If Colonel Sander’s goatee, string tie and secret recipe ever did it for you, then you’re in for quite a treat. KFC has upped the Colonel’s sexy-game, with the release of Tender Wings of Desire, a romance novella featuring Harland Sanders as sex object.

KFC believes that this sordid tale of Southern love and greasy fingers could be part of the ultimate Mother’s Day gift. The novella, paired with KFC’s $20 Fill Up, will help fulfill mom’s twisted fast food fantasies, while providing a family meal for those responsible.

Tender Wings of Desire is real, free, and available now for download. KFC will also surprise 100 fans on Facebook with the chance to win dinner and a hard copy of the book. Doesn’t mom deserve some Colonel this year?

“When Lady Madeline Parker runs away from Parker Manor and a loveless betrothal, she finally feels like she is in control of her life. But what happens when she realizes she can’t control how she feels? When she finds herself swept into the arms of Harland, a handsome sailor with a mysterious past, Madeline realizes she must choose between a life of order and a man of passion. Can love overcome lies? What happens in the embrace of destiny, on the Tender Wings of Desire?”

Food For Thought, Books Packaged As Canned Food

March 17, 2015 by Chris Durso Leave a Comment

The problem with most books, besides all of the big words and lack of pictures, is that they’re never packaged to look like food. Designer, Maria Mordvintseva-Keeler, is here to help change that.

Food For Thought is a design concept that rethinks ordinary linear books, by packaging them in food cans. Three food-themed books — Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Naked Lunch and Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant — also include elements of the book plot illustrated on the can. Finally, pretty pictures to look at.

Cthulhu Pie

Want to keep others away from your pie? Sculpt a giant tentacled monster out of pie crust, like the Cthulhu Pie.

We don’t know much about the origin of the creepy dessert, but someone was nice enough to write a song about, sung to “American Pie.” And pie songs are awesome.
