KFC's Colonel Sanders tricks his way into UN

Now, I am beginning to wonder if Dracul and Pajju are real :O(

A man impersonating the Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Sanders managed to dupe his way into the UN headquarters in New York and shake hands with a senior official.

Dressed in the fast food icon's familiar white suit and black bow tie, the actor evaded tight security to gain access to the restricted areas of the complex.

He even posed for a photograph with Ali Treki, the new president of the UN General Assembly, before the alarm was raised and he was ejected.

"It should not have happened – that I will stress, and very strongly," Michele Montas told Canwest News Service, the Canadian news agency.

"There was some lapse in security and the individual in question was, on the initiative of one security guard, taken into the UN."

As part of its campaign to promote a new menu range, KFC is "lobbying" the UN for the fictional Grilled Nation to be accepted as a member state.

The fast food giant has written to Mr Ki-moon personally asking for grilled chicken lovers to be be represented at the assembly, in a letter dismissed by Mrs Montas as "absolutely void".

The real Colonel Sanders died in 1980, half a century after devising the "secret recipe" of herbs and spices that is still used for cooking chicken in KFC restaurants today.
