<--- "The KFC Colonel (Robert Thompson) meets with the President of the United Nations General Assembly, H.E. Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya in New York, October 22, 2009"

Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major security lapse after a UN guard helped Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Colonel Sanders" gain access to restricted areas.

The guard escorted the white-suited intruder past security barriers, where he got a handshake from the UN General Assembly president, Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya.

The faux fast food chain founder also posed for a picture beneath the assembly's giant UN logo, which overlooks the spot where world leaders address their international counterparts.

"It should not have happened -- that I will stress, and very strongly," said Michele Montas, spokeswoman for UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon. "There was some lapse in security and the individual in question . . . was, on the initiative of one security guard, taken . . . into the UN."

The real Harland "Colonel" Sanders typically wore a white suit and string bow tie, but he has been dead since 1980.
