A man wearing a chicken costume was hauled away by the Singapore police on Thursday, June 10, 2010, after trying to stage a one-man demonstration against a local KFC outlet.

Edward Basse, 24, is an American PETA campaigner dedicated to saving the 1-billion or so chickens that according to KentuckyFriedCruelty are "crammed by the tens of thousands into excrement-filled sheds that stink of ammonia fumes." Among his allies are the likes of Sir Paul McCartney, His Holiness the Dalal Lama and, of course, Baywatch bunny Pamela Anderson.

I wonder how much of an impact one-man demonstrations in foreign countries will really make in the long-run.

I mean, if you have the money to fly yourself all over the world doing these demonstrations- can't you use it to make more of an impact by rescuing chickens or something?

    Yeah, a paramilitary unit could be put together for much less.
