New York City fried chicken joints under fire for using Obama name
Staff Reporter | Posted April 3, 2009 1:23 PM
Two New York City fried chicken restaurants are under fire for using President Barack Obama's name in their signs.
The restaurants are located in predominantly black neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Harlem, according to the Associated Press. A local newspaper, AM New York, ran a headline (see below) titled "What The Cluck" alongside a photo of the Obama Fried Chicken sign. A local city councilman has reportedly threatened a protest if the signs are not changed.
The Harlem location for Obama Fried Chicken is reportedly on St. Nicholas Avenue, just south of 116th Street.
