Why hello there, Foghorn Leghorn, er, I mean Claudio!

This week's fast food chicken icon comes all the way from the streets of Buenos Aires, Argentina, apparently a city beyond the reach of U.S. copyright lawyers.

I snapped this photo back in October while walking along one of Buenos Aires' main streets. David asked, "Aren't you going to take a picture of that for your Fast Food Chicken Icon of the Week series?" So I did, and a mere eight months later, here he is in all his scared witless glory...

Claudio!

The sign reads Pollo a las Brasas, which translates to "chicken of the coals", or basically a chargrilled chicken. Unlike most Spanish-speaking countries, in Argentina the "ll" is pronounced "sh", so one would say, "posho a las brasas."

And I can't describe how delicious that sounds to me at the moment (sorry, Claudio).

So, looking at Claudio's face, he is clearly horrified by something (and rightly so), but what? We can't see what he is looking at. Could he be watching the fate of other chickens before him? Could it be that he sees the grill for which he is destined? Or did someone just unexpectedly remove his drumstick with a cleaver? More than likely, he is mortified by the way people drive in Buenos Aires, since he seems to be looking down towards a major street. Trust me, Buenos Aires driving is even more exciting that Paris driving, and Claudio appears to agree.

Or is he reacting to the fact that they deliver? Or that he is wearing a chef's toque? Or that he has a long-lost twin north of the equator... you be the judge:
