Oh boy.
I step away from this blog for a hot minute and THIS HAPPENS?!
Hitler. Chicken.
"Hitler" fried chicken better surrender its logo, because the Colonel's ready to fight.
Kentucky Fried Chicken told The Huffington Post Friday it may take "legal action" against a fried chicken shop named Hitler that sports a storefront emblem very similar to KFC's, only with Adolf Hitler's head replacing Colonel Sanders.
"We find it extremely distasteful and are considering legal action since it is an infringement of our brand trademark and has nothing to do with us," a spokesman for KFC parent Yum! told The Huffington Post in an email.Hitler, which recently opened in Bangkok, Thailand, first garnered attention after Andrew Spooner, author of the "Footprint Thailand Handbook," snapped a photo of the restaurant and tweeted it out in May.

Of course, I’ve previously discussed at length the possibility glaring probability that Colonel Sanders was a sadistic muthafucka, so the fact that an asshole like Hitler is jumping on the 11 herbs and spices bandwagon isn’t a huge surprise to me. But what is a huge surprise is that the big H is now endorsing CHICKEN.
I mean, wasn’t this dickhead a vegetarian?
Turns out, Hitler did follow a predominantly vegetarian diet, but only because he had gastrointestinal issues. Well that makes me feel a little bit better; Hitler wasn’t an animal lover or an environmentalist, he was just gassy.

So if the Germanic Führer was plagued with gassy gut and leaky butt, how in the name of all that is Regular and Extra Crispy did he become the new face of Southern cooking?
I don't know about you, but I know who I blame. I'm not gonna name names, but let's just say it rhymes with "maul a spleen".
