Don’t you get tired of things going stale for awhile? Sure, old school has always made a come back,
but even then things start to stink a bit if they are left unattended.
It so happens that our Asian counterparts,
most specifically the Japanese, have turned old news into “freaking-awesome-you-gotta-see-this” news.
OK, so what am I talking about here? It is no surprise that KFC has made it’s way into the Japanese consumers.
In a country where people are obsessed with fish, rice and sake, there’s little room for fried chicken, but KFC
has played it right and gain a lot of popularity, having restaurants all over the country.
But then as I was saying, things go stale and well… so do sales.
To find an answer to this problem, a very clever strategic approach was taken. It so happens that with the recent rise of the “otaku” culture in Japan, a lot of people have come to see things being “Moe” and what
better way to promote KFC than “pimping” Colonel Sanders, but not the kind of pimping us Americans are
used to, but rather the “Gothic” kind of the Akihabara street-mongers. Akihabara is known for it’s colorful people and Gothic scene, so we saw this one coming.
Anyhow, I present to you the all new and improved Colonel Sander… in a maid suit!
That’s right folks! Colonel Sander is now officially… well Moefied.
I love how Japanese people turn day-to-day things into out-of-this-world things.
Now, if we could only start seeing those here… I’ll have myself some good ol’ fried chicken.
