U.N. Elects Iran to Commission on Women’s Rights? Snarky 6, What Else Did They Do?

Posted on April 30th, 2010 by Fingers Malloy

In a move that only people in the U.N. and the Obama Administration could see as reasonable, the United Nations elected IRAN to a U.N. Commission on Women’s Rights. You can’t make this stuff up!

From FoxNews.com:

Without fanfare, the United Nations this week elected Iran to its Commission on the Status of Women, handing a four-year seat on the influential human rights body to a theocratic state in which stoning is enshrined in law and lashings are required for women judged “immodest.”

Just days after Iran abandoned a high-profile bid for a seat on the U.N. Human Rights Council, it began a covert campaign to claim a seat on the Commission on the Status of Women, which is “dedicated exclusively to gender equality and advancement of women,” according to its website.

Buried 2,000 words deep in a U.N. press release distributed Wednesday on the filling of “vacancies in subsidiary bodies,” was the stark announcement: Iran, along with representatives from 10 other nations, was “elected by acclamation,” meaning that no open vote was requested or required by any member states — including the United States.

MMM, can you smell the appeasement? But that’s a topic for another day. Today I would like to list the top 6 other appointments to various UN Commissions that make as much sense as marrying Iran to women’s rights.

  1. Kathy Griffin was elected to the U.N. Commission on Funny.
  2. Amy Winehouse was added to the U.N. Commission on How to not Look or Act Like a Crack Whore.
  3. KFC was named to the UN Commission on Making Sandwich Awesomeness.
  4. Kate Gosselin was elected Chairwoman to the U.N.’s: How To Not Make People Roll Their Eyes When They Hear Your Name… Commission.
  5. NBC was named to the U.N. Commission on How Not to F#$% Up Late Night Television.
  6. Speaking of NBC, Saturday Night Live sucks.(Yes. That’s number 6.)

If I Could, I Would Marry This Sandwich

Posted on April 14th, 2010 by Fingers Malloy

This may just be the best thing ever invented. I will let the KFC website give you the skinny on this sandwich.

The new KFC Double Down sandwich is real! This one-of-a-kind sandwich features two thick and juicy boneless white meat chicken filets (Original Recipe® or Grilled), two pieces of bacon, two melted slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and Colonel’s Sauce. This product is so meaty, there’s no room for a bun! » Watch the TV Commercial

The Double Down comes in two versions – Original Recipe® or Grilled and the nutrition information is below.

Sandwich Calories Fat (g) Sodium (mg)
KFC Original Recipe® Double Down 540 32 1380
KFC Grilled Double Down 460 23 1430

 

If you buy the grilled version of this sandwich you are a filthy communist. There I said it, Comrade.

If I had 6 of these sandwiches, a case of Guinness and my Google Droid I am quite sure that I can last 2 weeks in solitary confinement. 

This sandwich backs up my theory that one day KFC will rule the world. It will make both major political parties in the United States bow to the Colonel. It will bring the UN to its knees. Nothing can stop the Double Down, not even ObamaCare.

Nobody puts Double Down in the corner…
