KFC-Taco Bell gone to the rats...

This news blurb is not exactly the way to get traffic to your eatery:

NEW YORK (AP) — News video showing about a dozen rats running around a KFC-Taco Bell restaurant in Greenwich Village was widely disseminated Friday on TV stations and the Internet.

The footage, taken from the sidewalk through a window, showed the rats running around the floor, between counters and tables and on children's high chairs. The establishment was not open at the time.

News crews flocked to the scene, and onlookers gave a play-by-play as the rodents moved about. When one rat came close to the window, a person on the sidewalk said: "He's coming for his close-up."

There was no answer at the phone number displayed in neon on the store window below the words "We Deliver."


Maybe that's what it was really about - some new secret rat training program to have them deliver food. After all, they'd work for scraps...
