Biz: KFC looking for new spokesman; must like whatever the “C” stands for

  • Is the Colonel is getting klinked? Perhaps as recovery from the spectacular failure of their last marketing campaign, KFC is trying to find the new face of their company. To do so, they’re going to MySpace (uhhhh, isn’t everyone who isn’t in a band on Facebook?) and asking for videos until July 7. The winner gets a free lifetime supply of chicken and a free heart attack 15 years from now. source

Offbeat: We talk about zombies and pirates too much; here’s a vampire story

  • Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey pleads guilty to harrassment. The 45-year-old Sharkey, who’s not only a “vampire” apparently but a creep, pleaded guilty to harassment charges involving a teenage girl he met on MySpace. If that’s not good enough, he once ran for Minnesota governor under the “Vampyres, Witches and Pagans” banner. He should have waited. Tim Pawlenty isn’t running again and he might have had a shot. Now he’s just a laughingstock. source

We’re so gonna test this today. source
