I normally shy away from corporations doing things just to get good press, but I really like this:
As campaign headlines blare on about lipstick on pigs, hockey moms, angry pastors and a bridge to nowhere, KFC is challenging all presidential debate participants -- candidates, moderators and even audience members -- to stand up and give world hunger a voice Tuesday night in Nashville.
To spur a serious conversation on world hunger, KFC is offering to donate $20,000 to world hunger relief efforts if anyone mentions the pressing issue during Tuesday's nationally televised presidential debate.

$20,000 is, what, a minute’s profit for KFC? How far does that go, actually?
They are a huge global corporation, they should be giving real money, without proposing a dare to our presidential contestants. Maybe there should be two briefcases, one with $20,000 and one with $2,000,000?
Do they also have to mention the KFC challenge, I wonder?
