Obama Fried Chicken'? If You Go to China...

So this exists: A President Barack Obama-inspired fried chicken chain in -- where else? -- China.

The "OFC" sign -- which we can only assume stands for "Obama Fried Chicken" -- looks suspiciously like the KFC logo and depicts the president dressed as Colonel Sanders, complete with suspenders and bow tie.

The Daily Mail posits that Obama Fried Chicken could be a response to the U.S. filing a complaint with the World Trade Organization about Chinese tariffs on American chicken exports.
