Earthquake and patriotism: The Colonel speaks!

KFC%20patriotic%20ribbon.JPG

The good people of KFC have been handing out national pride along with their popcorn Chicken lately: KFC%20lady_.JPG

"众志成城 加油，中国" translates (very) roughly as "Everybody join together! Come on China!"

Available at a KFC 15 metres away from wherever you're at.

Meanwhile, several hundred residents in Nanjing protested outside a McDonald's outlet for daring to advertise with a bright red leaflet on the May 19 edition of Modern Express News 《现代快报》. The furore eventually led McDonald's to annnounce that would donate another 10 million RMB to rebuild education facilities in Sichuan.
