Could there be better trolling by KFC by super imposing a huge advert on one of McDonald's most recognizable outlets in Karachi! pic.twitter.com/cngucCLn4y

The billboard itself and it’s particular placement has the internet full of opinions, and here’s what they’ve got to say:

Some shared how the ad is actually helping McDonald’s:
Or they maybe actually helping MacDonald, not everyone would notice if advert is by KFC or MacD https://t.co/aztqOl3sXB

Well. This board actually serves McDonald's well then KFC. No logo where it actually required. #FailMarketingTactics https://t.co/hWGEMwIKsk

People did not find the ad in line with societal values:
Totaly agree with u, kfc shld consider our societal values while advertising https://t.co/kjVVC0SDQu

Some criticised how the woman wasn’t needed at all:
We did not need that woman in this ad. Chicken is good as is https://t.co/wrSiE86csV
— i. (@Ifrahaabbasi) June 30, 2021
I'm not sure I'm more angry and irritated by the cringeworthy sexualised photo of a woman eating fried chicken in a bizarre way or the fact that this person thinks KFC marketers can troll McDonald's. And the use of the word trolling itself. God go look it up. https://t.co/g5G62tfUmg
