Not only is it tabloid-style "human interest" but it feeds the Grand Myth that the generationally wealthy depend on to get the poor chickens to vote for Colonel Sanders - they think they'll be commissioned as colonels too. The ANS 'story' is perfect fodder to feed the sheeple - if only because it feeds a sense of superiority ... and that sense of superiority feeds the notion that they too can become wealthy and famous. After all, if THEY can do it then anyone can, right?
Come to think of it ... that's also part of why the right likes dimWit as pResident. If he can do it then anyone can.
