Beijing restaurant OFC parodies KFC, guess who replaced Col. Sanders?


(, found from )

Hmm, wonder if this has anything to do with how much money the US has borrowed from China?

Meanwhile, I wonder if KFC's in Vermont would use THIS as the Sanders:

2. The Chinese may not be aware of the fried chicken/watermelon connotation

6. I will sadly have to disagree with your subject title......
I think the post-Mao business elites are QUITE aware of this, but they choose to do so anyway; China is, after all, basically the 21st century equivalent of Mussolini's Italy........am I right?

10. I agree that the Chinese government is basically Fascist, but that means their real goal...
...is to sell chicken.

11. That motto does not fit at all with what I understand about Chinese culture... I thought they valued

humility above just about everything else?

14. American culture used to be appaled about torture.
So much so that assholes like Cheney had to wait until the WWII Generation died out to reinstate that anti-democratic form of control and terrorism.

Things change

12. the sign says: "We're so niubi, aren't we?"
"niubi" translates as "cool"

KFC said they might sue.
