Lesley McCave, a blogger on LA Weekly's Squid Ink collective, recently commented on the KFC phenomenon that takes over Japan during Christmas time. Since the Japanese don't have much access to turkey and probably don't celebrate this holiday like most Americans do (by roasting a turkey and devouring it around a huge dinner table), those who feel the need to improvise, do so by stumbling over to their local KFC, or as the locals refer to as 'Kentucky'. I don't find this particularly weird or anything, nor should anyone for that matter. What is interesting, however, is that they dress the Colonel up in full Santa gear, as with other holidays throughout the year, or for no real reason at all. Perhaps this was simply an interesting nugget of info that you'll relay to a friend but I'm guessing you'll be thinking, "Shit, I wish I didn't read this" instead. Happy holidays y'all.
