This was the cutest and funniest thing I have seen all day. I am with Elagie on this. She is being taught to deal with the harsh reality of death (even if it's a goldfish, but he was obviously loved), and is bright, articulate, and adorable.

These are funny and sad all at the same time. What people will do to avoid a balanced diet and exercise!

If the demand for what the corporation is supplying is there, they will succeed. In other words, their success depends on the general public. They have a right to exist in a free market just as the mom and pop shop on the corner does, and if they have the money to expand and advertise, it is their right to use it. You do not have to buy from them if you are so against them. Corporation does not necessarily equate to evil as much as you would like to think so. I think you've watched a few too many 80's movies, Humo. Sorry. While you have a point in saying that there should be monitoring (and there is to a certain extent), it doesn't mean that the monitoring should be limited to big corporations. I can name quite a few small business owners that should be behind bars or already have been.

We get messages from the state all the time, warning us that drinking and smoking are bad. We get PSA's up the ying yang. We have signs up all over the place telling us not to speed, loiter, litter,etc. We get unwanted phone calls from campaign offices that are not included in the Do Not Call lists though I feel that they should be. So, a KFC ad on a pot hole is not going to bother me. I'll just be glad that there is no pot hole.

And believe it or not, people can think for themselves. They can take responsibility for themselves too. Just because KFC is advertising on a pot hole doesn't mean that anyone has to go get a bucket of chicken. Heck, I don't even eat fast food, but I'm not going to complain that they are out to make a living too, and employing a lot of people while they are at it.

Thanks, ted. I tend to get a little fired up when the corporation bashers/food police get their knickers in a twist because a company wants to ... gasp... make money or make food that has things like fat in it. They tend to paint anyone that works hard and tries to make a profit like one dimensional, greedy monsters, and that is not the case. If you are ashamed of making money and being successful, run a charity.

And then the whole "KFC is unhealthy" thing gets to me too because no one is twisting anyone's arm to eat there. Why is it so hard to take responsibility for oneself?

I agree that the city should fix the potholes, too. But they aren't, apparently. So might as well let someone else step in and get some face time for it. I don't know that it would be anymore confusing than all the stuff that gets painted on the roads as it is, especially after people get used to it.

And my comment was a comment as well. I just thought yours was sad and hilarious at the same time given that it's not exactly a big deal.

I never hated this show, but neither was it something I couldn't stand to miss. I don't really get the obsession people still have with it.

That people take this seriously is really kind of sad.

This was amazing. I loved the footage, but the music is what really set the mood and made it all the more special.

Oh no, seefish3! The cupcakes are racist! Call Al Sharpton! The ACLU!

Seriously, someone makes super creative cupcakes and all you can do is criticize the poster for not specifying that the "flesh coloring" should be called Caucasian flesh colored? Wow. That's a little sad.

Humo, if you aren't going into business to make money, you should not go into business. There is nothing wrong with making money or advertising. This form of advertising at least does something more than create an eyesore, and it is less intrusive because it is underfoot. Beats a billboard.

Secondly, KFC still exists because people go there of their own free will. No one is making anyone clog their arteries and no one is making them get fat. Don't approve of their food, don't eat there. Simple. When someone eats so much fast food that they damage themselves, they only have themselves to blame, not the fast food place.

Mouserz, I was thinking the same thing. Somewhere, there is a PETArd wetting themselves in a rage.

I think that it's as good a place to advertise as any, and they'd be doing something useful with that advertisement. Given that most advertisements are eyesores with nothing useful to do, why not?

LOL, Miss Cellania, I always thought they were inedible. I guess your cats know differently. ;)

I love red velvet cake, and this is just too cute. I have to make these.

Just to add, I know that we're talking inedible hermit crabs, but assuming that this applies to all crabs when I speak of eating them.

I remember PoFolks, but don't remember the food, though I have been there when I lived in Florida. I always got it confused in my head with Cracker Barrel.
