Arthur Morgan from Red Dead Redemption 2 Promotes Chicken in Hilarious Restaurant Sign

Fans of Red Dead Redemption 2 were both surprised and amused when they stumbled upon a restaurant sign featuring the likeness of the game's outlaw gunslinger, Arthur Morgan, promoting chicken. This is just one of many instances where Arthur Morgan's image has been unofficially used for advertising or selling various products.

Despite copyright regulations, Arthur Morgan and other assets from Red Dead Redemption have been spotted in numerous locations worldwide, attempting to market products or attract customers. Dedicated fans have previously noticed Red Dead Redemption-themed restaurant murals, recreating iconic artwork from the game, and John Marston even appeared on shoe boxes. With the game's iconic status, it seems irresistible for some to utilize it for promoting their own goods.

In this particular case, a humorous image has surfaced featuring a sign for a taqueria and carniceria. Above the entrance, the familiar image of Arthur Morgan pointing his gun from the cover of Red Dead Redemption 2 has been cleverly modified, replacing the gun with a chicken leg. The image seamlessly fits with the overall Western-themed aesthetics of the sign. However, the business owner could face legal troubles if Take-Two Interactive chooses to challenge the unauthorized use of their intellectual property.

Unfortunately, the exact location of this restaurant and the current status of the sign are not known. Nevertheless, the image has gained significant attention, even prompting the official KFC Spanish Twitter account to share it, playfully acknowledging the strong competition. Fans have also taken the opportunity to make jokes, drawing parallels to Arthur's voice actor asking if someone wants jelly beans or donating to the camp to afford fried chicken.

While using likenesses without permission is not advisable, it is evident that Red Dead Redemption 2 has garnered immense love from gamers worldwide. Not everyone may recognize Arthur endorsing chicken on a storefront sign, but Rockstar Games did an outstanding job of bringing the Old West to life. This popularity has inspired some designers to incorporate its intellectual property when aiming for a Western or cowboy theme. With rumors of a Red Dead Redemption remaster circulating, even more gamers may be introduced to its world, leading to more signs and murals like the one depicted here.
