"leslie nielson" news and stories

Somehow, we missed the 176-pound solid chocolate Brad Pitt that was put on display in a department store in South Korea over Valentine's Day. According to Best Week Ever, the near life-size model was a response to the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il's commission of a 200-pound model of Leslie Nielsen made out of olives. The likeness of Brad does not look exactly like him, but there is a resemblance and no doubt the effort was greatly appreciated by fans of the actor. Brad Pitt sounds a lot more appetizing, generally speaking, but it seems safe to say that chocolate will win over more people than a 200-pound pile of olives.

No word on what was done with the chocolate when the display was taken down. It didn't turn up on eBay, so it is safe to assume that it was either eaten or melted down and recast.
