This is a statue of Kentucky Fried Chicken's Col. Sanders, standing in front of a Japanese KFC, dressed like Unit-01 from Neon Genesis Evangelion. In related news, Japan is still fucking weird. (Via Three Steps Over Japan)

Eh, is it any weirder than BK's Klingon-themed commercial tie-ins with the new ST movie?

Hey now, we still don't know whose soul was in Unit 05.
It could very well have been the Colonel's.
Though if the Japanese wanted to correctly match the anime equivalent, they need to have the extension cord.

At first glance I thought it was a Robo-Barney costume.
But you are, sadly, correct. It's Unit 01. A very squat Unit 01.

Jesus, I thought that was some poor old dude in that costume! Oh Japan, never stop wooing us.

I remember walking around Kyoto several years ago, and while not nerdy at all, I saw the Ol' Col in a kimono holding a huge slice of watermelon. Good times.

This is the part where I wait for people to remark about how many traumatized 14-year-olds you can fit in THAT.

KFC: Kyoto's Fucked-up Children?
Seriously though I'd be more worried about the colonel going berserk and eating up costumers.

It turns out LCL is the main ingredient of the secret recipe.
Skemono said:
Oh, Japan, and your completely understandable love of the Colonel!

They're getting creative after they had to take down the Gundam.

Oh dear. Looks more like some kind of fucked-up Pokémon cosplay attempt.

And once again this elicits my default response to almost all Japanese weirdness: "Cause why the fuck not?"

This is the the most awesome thing I've seen all Autumn. I would have said Summer but,
A. Summer is over
B. What can top 'My Girlfriend Is the President' AND Lightsaber Obama?
