usually the CBC news don't provide much opportunity to laugh ... but today's news gave plenty of opportunity to laugh .

first there was the news from "kentucky fried chicken" who apparently have asked pope benedict to bless their fish sandwich .

right thereafter there was a filmclip (youtube style) showing a KFC restaurant in new york at night ... with a bunch of fat and happy rats running around .
a/t the news "KFC will take care of the problem " (crisply fried rats anyone :wink: ).

and to top it off the first commercial right thereafter was by KFC !

if i had tried to make it up it wouldn't have worked .
(you want the regular or "extra crispy" coating ?).

A new sandwich at a popular restaurant chain was billed as a “modern take on ‘loaves and fishes’ for today’s Lenten observers,” and that chain wants the Pope’s blessing for the sandwich.

The president of KFC, most well known for its fried chicken, announced on Wednesday that the company has sent a letter to the Vatican for Pope Benedict XVI to bless the Fish Snacker.

A news release from the restaurant chain says the Vatican has acknowledged that it has received the company’s request for the Pope’s blessing.

the rats will need the pope's blessing too - perhaps he'll ask KFC for a stay of execution .

perhaps the rats came from the SRI KARNI MATA temple , the temple of the HOLY RATS ?

CBS/AP) Even for New Yorkers who had seen everything, the sight was a jaw dropper: hordes of rats running freely through a closed fast food restaurant in the West Village.

Agile, plump, leaping and bounding from table to table, the rodents ran across the floor, between counters and tables and onto children's high chairs.

They even perched on top of an ATM machine.

Rats have long been a presence in New York, with such a dense population and such a large and readily available food supply for the rodents. But it is rare to see so many rats congregating in one place in public view, rather than scampering through subway tunnels, rooting through trash, or dashing across parks.

News crews flocked to the KFC-Taco Bell restaurant, and video footage taken through the store window was widely disseminated Friday on TV stations and the Internet.
