Ryan, there is only one good reason for you to return to Columbus periodically. That reason is Buckeye Fried Chicken.

If yer not in the 614 then why not take a quick armchair KFC World Tour. Colonel Sanders is so cute when he's multiethnic. But why is there no African-American Colonel when "Hispanics and African Americans love our products. We really haven't exploited that like we should." [The Courier-Jornal quotes Yum! chairman David Novak]

Notice that in the picture of the Kentucky Fried Chicken in Beijing, China, the signs are written in traditional Chinese characters. Beijing, being on the mainland, uses simplified characters. That picture is obviously mislabeled. It's probably a Taiwanese KFC.

Not that Beijing doesn't have KFCs.

I ate at a KFC in Beijing and, through a cultural misunderstanding, I accidentally ordered a kids meal, which worked out great, because I got an Asian looking Colonel Sanders toy.

Colonel Sanders, like the Buddha, assimilates in appearance as he travels further from his home into East Asia.

What!!! colonel sanders is clearly an attempt to identify with the american civil war general archetype. Think of images seen of the colonel and civil war characters. the beard, glasses and clothes all point to this. therefore, colonel sanders is racist.

Buckeye Fried Chicken? It's like a real life version of the 'McDonalds' in "Coming to America", you know, The Big Mick. Does BFC have the 7 1/2 ingredients of a secret recipe? Ha ha ha ha.
