The Colonel Goes Tony Soprano

Men caught smuggling KFC into lockdown-hit Auckland

The pair’s risky late night food run means they now face heavy punishments under New Zealand’s tough anti-Covid laws. Fines can reach up to NZ$4,000 and some offenders can even face prison sentences of up to six months.

The men are not the first New Zealanders whose fast-food cravings have landed them in trouble with authorities. Last week a 20-year-old man was charged after he posted a video on Tiktok showing him leaving Auckland and purchasing a large amount of food from McDonalds.

Maybe if it was Popeye’s, but KFC?

  1. Not totally o/t but FYI… John Wayne Gacy “ Patches the Clown” was the son in law of colonel
    Saunders, he married the daughter and had 2 kids while he was raping and murdering young boys

  2. KFC the new contraband. Excess cash? Probably 1/2 of it is in the arresting officers pockets. Sneaking chicken into the city is the real crime here!

    1. Well, if the vax doesn’t clog your arteries the KFC certainly will.

      If we survive this nazi BS, comedians for years will be able to make jokes along the lines of:

      “my hands are up, I’ve got no chicken”
      “stop choking your chicken”
      “Put the chicken down sir”
      “Is your chicken licensed”

  3. Come on now, the Aussies and Kiwis are transplanted Brits–they use ALL the spices: salt AND pepper. Popeye’s would be much to spicy for them.

    1. That’s so cruel…!!!

      My own theory is that she and A.O.C. are from the same clone factory batch.

      Oh, and I don’t think we have Popeye’s here (Australia) or in New Zealand. Maccas, K.F.C., Pizza Hut, a few Tacos Bell; maybe a few others. Big recent news was the first Five Guys opening up at Penrith. Nowhere near me, I’m afraid.

      1. Popeyes eh..? Dis

        We have a couple of them here in Calgary. For me, I simply don’t get the buzz about Fried Skin….regardless of who, the chicken is always the same…B O R I N G.

        Now, 5 Guys..?? Whole diff story. Have one within 10 min of me. Totally Love it and their Fries are world beater quality…..I’d smuggle that any day of the week. But now, given I refuse to put globalist Excrement in my deltoid, I’m effectively banned from their establishment – Skip the dishes be damned….Same with Jersusalem Schwarma….Mofo’ing NAZI’s

        BTW…..Twas Awesome to see those Construction Guys go semi Ballistic against their Marxist supposed Leadership…Good on em..!!

  4. Our small town lost their KFC some time ago. There’s an obsessed couple that drives over 2 hours to the nearest city every week to eat and buy 5 buckets of chicken, then immediately turn around and drive back the 2 hours to home. I don’t know if they’re storing those buckets for themselves to selling them to offset their gas costs, but damn I bet my wife would be jumping in line if they’re thinking of setting up a ‘Chicken Run’ business.

    That South Park clip where Cartman is addicted to KFC is real.

  5. I’ve had KFC in NZ and OZ while on vacation. I’m pretty certain they use more salt down under than in Canada.

    Love the meat pies in Australia!

  6. “but KFC?”

    BECAUSE HE POOTS AN ADICTIVE CHEMICAL IN HIS CHICKEN THAT MAKES YA CRAVE IT FORTNIGHTLY, SMART-ASS!

  7. I was in Oklahoma on a ride some years ago.
    The nice lady in the gas station shop told me her husband, a youngish construction worker, had recently died of a heart attack.
    She said she had no idea that he had been eating KFC every day for lunch.

  8. If someone was to make a movie about smuggling sausages into Auckland, would it be called Smokies and the Bandit? (Yeah, I know…. look at my comment @11:43 for the appropriate response.)
