Would any real New Yorker fall for that crap? The real brass balls award goes to the corporate parent - YUM for this:<BR/>Restaurant operator Yum Brands Inc., parent company of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, Long John Silver’s and A&W Restaurants, will launch a new fitness initiative for customers Thursday.<BR/><BR/>Louisville-based Yum (NYSE: YUM) announced Monday that it will launch a new Web site, www.keepitbalanced.com , that features an online wellness and fitness training tool, eFIT4Me.<BR/><BR/>The program identifies eating patterns, recommends nutritional habits and includes motivational and goal-tracking tools that evolve as members update their progress, Yum said in a news release.<BR/><BR/>This is the equivalent of the Tobacco Companies offering quit smoking programs. Bravo to YUM for having a pair the size of boulders.<BR/><BR/>Thats not all, after a month trial, thewy are going to charge you $5.99/month for the privilege.<BR/><BR/>I have to stop, I'm going to pee myself laughing.<BR/><BR/>Sincerely, Steakmansteakmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16950478693398953706noreply@blogger.com
