WTF?

There is a secret war you guys might not know about, and it is between PETA and everyone who consumes meat. Specifically KFC.

The Colonel is rolling over in his deep-fried grave right about now. 

According to NYTimes, KFC offered a handfull of cash to fill some potholes for the good ol' State of Kentucky, on the condition that those potholes read "Re-Freshed by KFC" in non-permanent street chalk. Lets just hope for a rain, folks.

If the story wasn't weird enough, PETA has offered double the money then KFC to do the exact
same thing, as long as the advertising reads "KFC Tortures Animals" with a link to their website kentuckfriedcruelty.com and a lovely picture of our well known Colonel sporting a fine pair of devil horns. But the mayor of Louisville, after whole heartedly munching on a bucket of clucks and fanning himself with the money donated by KFC, turned down PETA's offer. The reasoning being that KFC has long been a staple of Louisville, Kentucky's history. Personally, if I was the mayor of a city, I'd rather have PETA be a staple of my towns history then a fast food chain of finger-licken-fried-chicken. 

Sad thing here, is that I checked out the website. And now I don't think I'll be going to KFC anymore. I am by no means a vegetarian, but the least I can know when I look down at my roast (or in this case my breaded chicken) is that its been killed nicely. 

On a side note: KFC has given to the same offer to a number of other American Cities. No word yet on if PETA's gonna be doing the same.

But PETA, I want to know if I eat the biscuits and mashed potatoes, am I still a bad person?
