Pamela Anderson calls for removal of Colonel's bust

Another idiotic publicity ploy by PETA. Not to mention short on facts. All of the activities mentioned my Ms. Anderson as "cruel and unusual" treatment of chickens (with the exception of slaughter by decapitation, which is a typical and traditional method of killing poultry, not to mention quick and probably as painless for the bird as any 'modern' method) are sins of the current processor for KFC Corporation, Pilgrims Pride Corp. The Colonel had nothing to do with them, as he was not a factory farmer, just a country chef.

In fact, Colonel Sanders sold his franchise chain over 40 years ago, to a group of investors, and was quite outspoken when serving as company spokesman after his retirement. I remember back in the 70's when he made public comments to the effect that the mashed potatoes served at his namesake tasted like wallpaper paste!

The only thing odd about his likeness appearing in the Kentucky state capitol building is the fact that he was a Hoosier, born in Henryville, Indiana. But since Henryville is pretty far south, and very close to Kentucky, I suppose I'll cut'em some slack. Just this once!

If we must do any bust removal, I suggest that we start with removing the silicone from Ms. Anderson's, and using it to fill the empty space between her ears.

Television star Pamela Anderson is leading a campaign to have the bust of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Harland Sanders removed from the Kentucky state capitol.

The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM.
