Ad Nauseam: Kentucky Fried Potholes
In casting around for a good April Fool's Day joke, I found yesterday's New York Times Lede blog report on the chicken frying corporation KFC doing some pothole repair in Louisville, complete with this photo of Colonel Sanders in a hardhat and construction bib. I thought for sure the Times had gotten an eight-hour jump on the April Fool's fun, but amazingly this report seems to be true. Or they're holding out on a Joaquin-Phoenix-length punchline and haven't broken it to readers that this is preposterous. The PETA subtext in the Times story is pretty funny, but I find this all a bit unsettling.
