So, I was looking at a KFC bucket the other day. My heart filled with warmth (or maybe it was just heartburn) as I looked at the picture of that fine old southern gentleman, Col Harland Sanders.

It then occurred to me how Asian the ol' boy was looking. In fact, he reminded me of one of my favorite Japanese actors, Takashi Shimura.

He was in a bunch of Akira Kurosawa films, and also played the old scientist in Godzilla.

Really great fried chicken (though I prefer Popeye's, actually) or a conspiracy to infiltrate our minds with classic Japanese cinema? You be the judge!
