UN Alarmed By "Colonel Sanders" Visit

WND ^

UNITED NATIONS – The embarrassing infiltration into the headquarters of the United Nations – to the very podium where President Obama spoke – by an actor portraying KFC founder "Colonel" Harland Sanders has sparked an "investigation."

The incident first was reported by WND on Oct. 24, and it continues to cause problems for Ban Ki-moon's U.N.

The situation developed when Robert Thompson, an actor hired by KFC parent Yum Brands Inc., was spearheading a new campaign to promote KFC grilled chicken.

If only KFC offered pulled pork sandwiches, I’d be tempted to go there.

[CanaGuy]

KFC has a new offering....It’s called the Obama Bucket. It’s full of left wings and a$$holes.

Priceless

[70th Division]

The actor playing Colonial Sanders has more credibility than 2/3’s of the doofuses at the U.N.

[cripplecreek]

LOL idiots.

[gussiefinknottle]

Better than Colonel Khadafy.

The publicity stunt was set up to offer "UN-fried" chicken to U.N. staff members – as a way of promoting the "Grilled Nation" of chicken.

Pity they didn’t have a band in to play...

[bigheadfred]

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA!

Too bad the headline didn’t read “Colonel Sanders Gives UN The Bird”.

But Really, they should put him in charge. Who better to run such a chicken outfit?

[Peter Horry]

LOL, these people do use the internet, don't they? Harland Sanders occupies the first page of a search and they would have found that he died in 1980 but would be 109 YOA if still living... pretty good likeness though.

I’ll bet the guard that showed him around knew he was an actor.

I’ll also bet that’s why the guard showed him around.

And I’ll also bet that’s why the UN is reacting the way it is.

Next, the Verizon Guy will be making an appearance as ambassador.

[Buck W.]

I’m waiting for the Bush’s Beans dog.

[Girlene]

LOL, bhfred. Good ones.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I love a good hoax - and this s a good one.

[Snurple]

Those guys at the UN must be racist. I mean... Ky fried chicken and Obama? :)

[Girlene]

I love a good hoax - and this s a good one.

LOL, it was an unintended "hoax". The Col. Sander's dude was approached by a UN badged man and asked for a photo. Then the guy starts escorting him around the UN even though he had no credentials. The UN security guy allowed him to mount the General Assembly podium AND get a photo-op with the GA president.

Kinda dangerous. Next time, a Ronald McDonald look-alike could actually be a terrorist. :-) It seems the UN security official has "disappeared" for now. LOL, What a bunch of idiots.

Thanks BHF.

The UN is a perfect place to find capons, no wonder they were alarmed.

[tanknetter]

Meanwhile, U.N. lawyers were dropping hints that legal action might be taken against Yum Brands and Thompson.

Wow. If only the UN were to behave in the same way when it comes to corruption within their own organization, from running prostitution rings to failing to pay NYC parking tickets.
