Hans Beinholt, Germany's Ambassador to the United Nations, drops by the Colbert Report for some diplomatic strengthening.

Thought for Food - Mentally Ill Advertisers & German Cupcakes
Burger King uses mental illness to sell food, KFC unveils the Double Down sandwich, and McDonald's introduces cupcakes to Germans. (06:41)
We have Burger King in the southern states over here (Oz) but in Queensland they are called Hungry Jacks. Someone owned the name and refused to sell it when they wanted to move in here, so they have a name change. This can be quite interesting in border towns like Tweed Heads.
Unfortunately we dont get cupcakes, though we regularly eat them, and we dont get Klondike Bars at our BK/HJ outlets.

@tsarstepan,
Germany's ambassador to the UN is Peter Wittig, nevertheless this bit was AMAZING
Thanks for the clarification. This guy seems familiar like one of those rare bird character actors where one can never get his name but can recognize his face and acting demeanor.
Stumble It!
