Statue of Colonel Sanders, founder (and mascot?) of KFC franchise, gets a bit of fashion makeover in Japan; some are cool, but mostly bizarre…

    Lol, I used to see the old colonel on TV commercials for Kentucky Fried Chicken when I was growing up. He’d be rolling over in his grave right now in his home state of Kentucky if he saw what the Japanese have done to him. :P

    Funniest one is definitely the watermelon + yukata outfit, couldn’t make any less sense than that!

    Thanks for the plug YeinJee ^^!
