KFC Offers To Fix America’s Potholes For Free

Literally.

Chicago Tribune — The fast-food chain has sent off a letter to the nation’s mayors, offering to patch their potholes for free. The company will leave behind a stenciled brand on the patch informing people the road has been “Re-Freshed by KFC.”
“In honor of our “Fresh Tastes Best” campaign, we want to come and Re-”Fresh” your roads!” KFC president Roger Eaton says in the letter. “Every patched pothole comes with the Colonel’s very own stamp of approval (see picture above).”

Chicago, apparently ripe with cash and without a single pot hole that needs fixing, turned the fast food giant down.

Everybody needs a little KFC. But maybe not Chicago. But Brian Steele, a spokesman for the Chicago Department of Transportation, which is charged with repairing the city’s potholes, said “We don’t allow any type of printing or advertising placed on a city street or sidewalk.”

Frankly, I’d rather have KFC stencils on fixed potholes than Obama’s horribly expensive and ineffective “stimulus” spending spree.
