  1. Before I actually *saw* the ad, I thought to myself, “self, this could be a genius move…make all sorts of country stars ‘Colonel Sanders’ in the spirit of ‘I am spartacus’ or something like that.”

    But that POS ad is an insult to countryfolk. It is not only a 1-dimensional cartoonish caricature, but a disparaging outrage that could have only been exceeded (downwards) by making Sanders gay (that’s probably their *next* move).

    (I don’t know Reba’s politics; is she one of those pussy hats?)

  2. I am sorry but i haave a confession to make: I am allergic to chicken (part of my childhood having to feed 10,000 chickens and shoveling the poop out of the sheds with no respirator and such – been told I still have some chicken “dust” still in my lungs after all these years) so as far I am concerned KFC could have Mr. Sulu as the Colonel and I wouldn’t care one way or another.

    I will say these ad looks pretty stupid and I don’t buy it.

  3. Czar: LGBTQ Col. Sanders? I laughed at that one. What would be the ad slogans?

    KFC, now featuring tossed salads
    Finger Lickin’ good (guess where my finger’s been)
    We choke your chicken

  4. Wasn’t Norm MacDonald the first celebrity Col Sanders?
    Setting off a string of others. Some I could identify, some not.

    Mostly I see it as a bit of fun. Not a big deal compared to the dangerous level of corruption slowly being revealed. Keep a sense of humor about it. It’s the small stuff.

    However, if they have Louie Anderson as Christine Baskets being Col Sanders that will be stretching the idea too far.

  5. In the 60s, before digital photography and the internet, my grandfather was a stand-in for Col. Sanders at restaurant openings and other public appearances. My friends and their families were so impressed that “Col. Sanders” came to visit us, bringing KFC balloons and coupons for free chicken, that in 2001, when I went back to my childhood home for an old friend’s wedding, people who hadn’t seen me in 30 years came up to me at the reception, pointed at me, and said “You’re the one whose grandfather was Col. Sanders!!”

    My claim to fame. LOL
