Stop me if you’ve heard this one: An American president (well, a look-alike) is in China, hawking a fish sandwich for a chicken chain.
It’s the truth, ISWURTAGAWD. A Barack Obama doppelganger has been hired by China’s KFC marking team to advertise the chain’s new fish sandwich. It’s being reported that KFC, the most popular fast-food chain in the country, is hoping the “Mmmm, change is good!” ad campaign will boost sales.
Of course, an update is now saying that the ad campaign has been pulled. Which is good, because, you know … awkwardly uncomfortable ad campaigns based off of tenuous connections tend to be less than great for foreign relations. Usually.
