"American Idol" Loser Can Croon for KFC

After tonight's final "American Idol" results are announced, don't feel too sorry for the runner-up. KFC just announced an offer -- and it's not to work the fryer.

YUM! Brands, the people that bring you KFC, have put out a consolation commercial offer to the person that takes tonight's second place.

The deal would pay $10,000, and have the runner-up writing and starring in a commercial for the new KFC Famous Bowls line. It also includes a year's worth of finger-lickin' favorites from the Colonel's menu -- and probably a first-class ticket to the top of PETA's most-hated list. -- Rachel Cericola

My god. This is perhaps the worst prize in the history of prizes.

I have to agree.

I think this might have been one of the selections from when they used to make you go "shopping" on the old "Wheel of Fortune." It was right next to the ceramic lawn ornaments.

Pat: Oh! You're out of money!

Contestant: $@!! you Pat!
