Cities and states are running out of money. So, don't expect quick action on that pothole. Thankfully, KFC is stepping in to help. The fast-food giant is filling in potholes in five cities. What's more, Col. Sanders himself (well, an underemployed actor playing Col. Sanders) is doing the honors, along with a more professional crew. The idea is that KFC has been clogging arteries, I mean filling stomachs, for 50 years. Of course, the filled potholes come with a price: a big "Re-Freshed by KFC" message on the street.
