Col. Sanders Demoted in Wake of Scandal

The Burger King, in the midst of his first trip to the U.S. in 10 years, acted decisively to restore order to his beleaguered military today, but demoting a national hero for "conduct unbecoming".

"At 2100, I, after conferring with General Mills, signed the order that will demote Colonel Sanders to the rank of 2nd Lieutenant, and have opened a court marital to determine if any further disciplinary action is required. I hope that this long national nightmare can be put behind us."

After making this statement, the king refused to answer questions, citing the open investigation.

The colonel is the highest ranking officer in that nation's military to have been implicated in what many political scientists are referring to as a coup by humiliation. This was a grass roots movement, on the part of the military to undermine the royal government by acting ridiculous in public. The hope of this movement is to show that the government has lost control and should be replaced by a military dictatorship.

The first such incident was when a Captain James T. Crunch led his entire unit through a "war games" drill. The soldiers were armed with spitballs and "cootie protectors." Escalation included an entire platoon wearing tutus for a Royal Review. The culmination came when the Colonel received that nation's highest award, and responded with, "Go Colonel, Go Colonel" while performing a "cabbage patch."

When asked for comment, the colonel responded with, "I can do that, I'm the colonel." His lawyers then led him away.
