In his latest video "Disco Lies," Moby takes aim at factory farming, and in particular KFC. The crispy chicken empire has made plenty of enemies with its questionable "chicken killing practices," including rocker has-been Brian Adams -- do I smell a duet? While we know that KFC's chicken has little to offer a eco-conscious consumer, Moby wisely lays off the educational PSAs.
You won't see any 'fun facts' scrolling across the screen about the terrible conditions in which factory farm animals are raised or slaughtered. Moby simply depicts the Colonel's untimely demise at the hands of a rough and tough street chicken who escaped the slaughter as a chick and returns seeking revenge.
It's easy to see just how strongly Moby feels about factory farming, especially Col. Sanders with his wee beady eyes. There's little in the way of substance in this video, a weakness that probably translates into its greatest asset -- entertainment value. it's basically just a juvenile yet hilarious saga of bloody revenge. More of a visceral opportunity to see something we've never seen before -- a chicken hacking up the Colonel. Hilarious!
