54 yrs after the ceasefire in the Korean War, the US finally found the secret of how to beat the Axis of evil. Send in the colonel, and I don't mean Oliver North …..I mean Colonel Sanders of course…. Yep it turns out that all the members of the Axis of Evil, such as North Korea, really wants, is a good old fashioned Kentucky Fried Chicken.
The BBC have a news story on the introduction of fast food to the North Koreans (mind you I had heard the fastest thing on two legs, was a chicken in North Korea). Now you might think that in a country where starvation is still common and real poverty 99% the norm, it would be difficult to obtain both regular meat, and customers, but you would be wrong.
Because, as is common in the other "communist paradises" that still exist (Cuba, North Korea, Vietnam, Laos, and China) there is an increasingly wealthy elite. Back in the USSR there were dollar shops (Beriozka) and a black market for the elite, and that hasn’t changed in these rump communist states, where some comrades are always more 'equal' than others.
The irony of this situation never seems to turn the head of any of the elite in these workers states, which shows how corrupt communism, a theory that forgot that it was dealing with humans, was from its very inception. In Pyongyang, these elite have created a market for luxury products (food, toiletries, basic items ….) and it’s into this niche market that a South Korean business man hopes to expand the fast food franchise.
So, as soon as the Whitehouse has evaluated the colonel’s conquest, then we can expect to see the colonels mate Ronnie parachuted in, and the two of them then taking the beaches in Cuba and Iran over the next few years.
