Remember the story from a few months ago about the Colonel Sanders statue that came floating onto a riverbank after being stolen from a KFC in Osaka over 20 years ago and chucked overboard? Well, here's a picture of him next to a newer version of himself. I think he looks much more approachable without the glasses and the makeup and the white suit. The happy human behind them is the president of KFC Japan, who no doubt eats a lot of chicken... or does he?

I still can't believe the found the original statue... amazing.
The president of KFC Japan looks like he could turn himself into a Japanese version of Colonel Sanders if he had a mustache, beard, and a few more wrinkles. Heck, he's already got the glasses...
