Pamela Anderson takes on Colonel Sanders

TV star leads campaign to remove a bust of 'cruel' KFC founder from Kentucky state capitol.
January 13, 2006: 2:43 PM EST

NEW YORK (CNN) - 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.

In a letter to Gov. Ernie Fletcher, the former Baywatch star says suppliers for the fast food chain, now called KFC, engage in cruel and unusual treatment of chickens, including tearing the heads off of live birds, spitting tobacco into their eyes and spray-painting their faces.

Anderson wrote the letter with the help of People for the Ethical Treatment of animals. In a statement issued by PETA, Anderson said, "The bust of Colonel Sanders stands as a monument to cruelty and has no place in the Kentucky state capitol."

Brett Halle, communications director for the governor, told CNN, "We understand that people have a passion for their causes, but Harland Sanders is a beloved man, and as far as this state is concerned, he exemplifies the best of Kentucky. The governor has no intention of moving his statue. If we were going to move it, it would be to a more prominent position where more people could see it."


Yeah, KFC is so loyal to Kentucky that they changed the name of their product from 'Kentucky Fried Chicken' to 'KFC'. Way to suck up to your corporate overlords you spineless hillbillies. KFC's stocks are going to plummet through the floor when avian flu becomes more and more prevalent.

4. Plus, he puts an addictive substance in his chicken
that makes you crave it fortnightly...

I hated the Colonel, with his wee bitty eyes!

5. She wants a bust reduction?

But, anyway, Spam Anderson can kiss my white ass if she thinks Harlan Sanders' bust will be taken down.

Why doesn't she try and do something useful with all 3 of her brain cells?

7. We stopped eating at KFC some time ago...
because of their record of promoting mistreatment of animals. I'm by no means a vegan (in fact, I hate to eat my vegetables), but the animals should be raised and slaughtered without suffering.

Now that I've posted that, I will admit that the main reason I looked at this thread is the title. Pamela Anderson "taking on" Colonel Sanders will be going through my head all day.
