Yum Brands, the company that owns the KFC/Taco Bell that was in the news recently because it was overrun by rats, has decided to close several more NYC restaurants owned by the company.

There's no word on exactly how many of the restaurants in the area are going to close, but the company said in a statement that they "will not compromise on our food and restaurant quality." The eateries are going to remain closed until they get the OK to reopen from city health inspectors.

Check out the rat slide show if you've forgotten what the whole nasty scene looked like.

Yeah. I just went over to the slideshow, and I have to admit that the third picture, a close-up of some kind of fast-food nacho plate, was just *foul*, man. Thank god there's a few pictures of rats to break up the otherwise disgusting visual onslaught.
