So, I never really followed up on this post, but because of it I learned of M.U.G.E.N., a video game engine people use to make their own fighting game characters. Then today a friend linked me to a video on niconico of our favorite mascots, Colonel Sanders and Donald McDonald, duking it out. I couldn’t find a copy on YouTube (curses!), so here is the video if you have a niconico account. (Donald wins, if you care but can’t watch.)

In the meantime, I did find THIS video: clearly the Colonel and Donald put aside their differences and unite to fight evil. And by evil, I mean Dragonball Z, Fist of the North Star, Fate/Stay Night, and a few other series.

Ran, ran, ruu, etc.

Japan loves Colonel Sanders more than I think America ever has, really, but this takes the french-frilled cake: alafista reports on a Kentucky Fried Chicken in Akihabara that has dressed up its Colonel Sanders mascot in a frilly maid dress, vaguely a la Emma in style. Colonel Sanders is too classy for those short-skirt-and-petticoat getups!

I suddenly have this mental image of maids serving giant greasy buckets of KFC chicken, how about you?
