And the fast-food hits just keep on comin'. As a bunch of media picked up this week, a man dressed as Colonel Sanders made it in to the United Nations on Monday, getting as far a handshake with UN General Assembly president Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya.The whole thing was apparently a publicity stunt by KFC, which was looking to promote its "Grilled Nation" chicken products. What made the whole thing all the more funny, though, was how seriously UN staff took it after learning they had been duped.
"It should not have happened - that I will stress, and very strongly," a UN spokesperson said, according to the National Post. "The UN cannot be involved in a commercial venture. Period. This is being touched upon by our legal department."
Apparently Dr. Treki shook the Colonel's hand and posed for the picture because "he's a very polite man." Hey, at the least the Colonel didn't try to set up a tent in his home country.
Aw come on United Nations, get a sense of humour! You got suckered good, might as well laugh about it!
Speaking of KFC - a colleague sent me a link to this Saturday Night Live skit following my post on the Double Down the other day. Check it out, it's hilarious. You just know that someone, somewhere is thinking this is a good idea:
