Calling off the news in a MultiCultClassics Monologue…
• The New York Daily News presented a slideshow of Michael Jackson paraphernalia that almost went up for auction. The sale was canceled at the last moment—which is too bad, as it might have seriously stimulated the economy.
• Hallmark Cards announced it will lay off 8 percent of its U.S. workforce. Hey, has the company already considered a line of sympathy cards for people who have lost their jobs? Big market there, for sure.
• KFC is launching grilled chicken on its menu, labeling it KGC (Kentucky Grilled Chicken). “We designed it for the needs of the health-conscious consumers who said they’re looking for some non-fried options, but they don’t want to sacrifice the flavor,” said KFC’s chief innovation officer. Um, “health-conscious consumer” is a highly subjective term when used by a chief innovation officer from KFC.
