Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick. Are we really having a fight about having only southerners peddle for a shitty ghetto chicken joint?

This place is beyond hope.

Has Trump tweeted about this yet? If he hasn't we should make one up for him.

Being authentic, I guess, considering Colonel Sanders was a Yankee from Indiana playing a Southern Colonel.

Quite correct. I just read his bio on wikipedia. It never occurred to me that Colonel Sanders was not Southern. It simply never dawned on me to even think about it. It was obvious.

What is happening to all the characters of my youth? The next thing you know people will start saying that Batman was gay.

"Ima" is part of a different culture than the KFC demographic.  If you want a better / more accurate parody of the southern slang, you should have said "I reckon".

Also, I had some truly excellent fried chicken livers last night at the Goose Creek Diner.

I'm fixin' to reckon.....

I've been called "DreamCrusher" for such behavior.  Other favorites are pointing out that Helen Keller, and Edward and Francis Bellamy were socialists.

As a young kid I can remember Harlan Sanders on TV being an honorable businessman with a great idea.

Now they've turned him into a cartoon buffoon.  Disgusting.  Why isn't the family blasting this?

This is pretty much why, once Harlan passed on, there was NO Col. Sanders.  Replacing him with anybody else seemed disrespectful.  Still does.

@catfish1957

I hate what they've done with him, but let's not whitewash either his business dealings or his personal life. 

He failed miserably in multiple fields (a lawyer, secretary of Chamber of Commerce, and a salesman -- failing at selling insurance, selling lamps, and selling tires).  He got into fistfights with associates that got him fired.  He swore up a storm at employees.  He grabbed a gun and a colleague to go confront a competitor, shooting the guy in the shoulder (the competitor shot Sanders' colleague and was convicted of murder).

And in his personal life, he ran around on his marriages a lot and maintained a mistress. 

He was a lot more rough-and-tumble than his gentlemanly image.

You say that like it is a bad thing.  It sounds like someone I would have enjoyed having a beer with.
