The Un-Yum Brands

Parent Company of KFC, Taco Bell Shuts Down More NYC Restaurants in Wake of Rat Scandal

"In a statement issued late Wednesday, Yum Brands Inc. said the restaurants would remain closed until they underwent new inspections by the city's health department . . . "We will not compromise on our food and restaurant quality," said Emil Brolick, a Yum Brands executive."

Uhm, I think it's a little late for statements like that, don't you think?

That's what I'd expect to see in a third world country, not America's largest urban center. *shudder*

UPDATE:
"We're glad to see that the rats are free range . . . "

And just look at parent company's YUM stock plunge!
