Ok first off, sorry about the crappy video captures, but if you have better pics I am more than willing to replace.

This just in… MFC has locations in Beijing, in case you are at the Olympics and getting a craving for KFC and McDonalds at the same time but can’t choose your poison! Yes it has finally happened, your favorite fast food fusion. Apparently MFC claims on their homepage to have started in America in 1960’s, but when a reporter called to inquire about the company’s history they say it was started 7 years ago in China!

Anyone care for a bucket of cow wings?

What in hell does KLG stand for. Taking suggestions. Random acronym aside, the reappropriated chicken design is straight genius. I actually prefer it to the original…

update: After further research, KLG is a KFC clone in Malaysia and KLG stands for “Kuai Le Gee” which in Chinese is translated as “Happy Chicken”. Not much logic in the sense that your buying fried appendages of these so called “happy” chickens. Also, apparently KFC has attempted to sue this franchise on multiple occasions for copyright infringement, but have lost all cases. KLG:1, KFC:0

Lesson learned… adding a obtrusive triangle to any logo will effectively deter any lawsuits… anyone recall the name of the burger joint in Coming to America? Correct answer: McDowell’s… “They got the Big Mac, we got the Big Mick.”
