Campaign participants march across campus in “Double Down” branded t-shirts and red sweatpants with the logo on the backside. KFC calls it, “Gluteus Ad Maximus: Enlisting female undergrads as human billboards to tempt fellow students.

Some call the guerilla campaign “sexist,” while others say it’s all in good fun. It just makes me feel old.
