Today on Lanarama, The Worst Thing I’ve Seen All Week!

Posted by Lana Gay on Nov 01, 2009

I don’t know what’s happened to fast food marketing. Remember when Burger King sent a man in a King costume on lavish dates with notable babe Brooke Burke?  I still don’t know how that was supposed to improve business.  So…if I put a plastic mask on my face and wear a robe I can eat burgers with the former host of Wild On?

Well now KFC has one upped the King by sending a fake Colonel Sanders to the United Nations.  The KFC mascot actually duped UN security (he is a Colonel after all), got escorted to restricted areas, and asked that the secretary general register the "Grilled Nation" of grilled chicken eaters as the 193rd UN member state.

Perhaps the bad publicity stunt will make people think twice about their fried chicken consumption….maybe not. But, on a positive note, the stunt will at least help beef up UN Security (no pun intended!).

    I'm a vegetarian so I don't eat KFC anyway. I find fast food fairly offensive in principle so the adds for it generally aren't much more offensive than the product. However I did notice that the new KFC ads start with "Did You Ever Notice that the Best Things in Life Come in a Box?" 

     

    To me it makes a statement about where we are as a society:

    “The best things in life are free.” - Author unknown, proverb

    "All You Need is Love" - John Lennon, 1967

    "The Best Things in Life Come in a Box" - KFC, 2009

     

    ... interpret as you will

    Last time I ate KFC was in junior high and I barfed it all over my grandma's bathroom. I haven't eaten it since...

    I would imagine the U.N will have a 3 year discussion on the pro's and con's of actually accepting the colonel offer to register the 193rd nation while the world explodes around them.

    The word colonel has the word colon in it.
