Matt, my man,
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic because folks on the spectrum can have a desiccated dry sense of humor *or* be far too literally-minded.
If you're joking, cool

If not, let me assure you:
Markus did the KFC thing as a one-off stunt, a goof. It was supposed to be funny -- a self-deprecating shot at himself.
Same said about the Hitchcock thing. He's making fun of himself.
Tell me you know this, my Canuck friend!
