This is a good one! The Colonel Sanders look-a-like (below) somehow got past security at the U.N. buildiing and managed to shake hands with Libya’s Dr. Ali A. Treki and others.
This might have something to do with it:
Kentucky Fried Chicken’s parent company, Yum! Brands, just launched a new grilled chicken advertising campaign. Yum! is publicly calling on Ban Ki-moon to admit the “Grilled Nation” as its 193rd member state. According to Kentucky Fried Chicken president Roger Eaton:
As Secretary-General, you have pledged to build a “stronger United Nations for a better world.” We at KFC are confident that recognizing Grilled Nation will strengthen your organization and satisfy the stomachs of your many Member states.
While we realize that incorporating Grilled Nation into the UN is a long shot, we hoped to possibly squeeze a chair in between Grenada and Guatemala. We promise to make sure the mashed potatoes get passed to folks from all Member States.
On October 22nd, Kentucky Fried Chicken gave away free grilled chicken and copies of their UN petition outside of the organization’s iconic headquarters in New York.
If only a wrecking crew could infiltrate security and level the place.
Just one of those things that make you laugh!
