Kentucky Fried Chicken founder and mascot Colonel Sanders is an American icon, but until recently, he wasn’t exactly known for his sex appeal. That changed in 2017.

The last time I tried KFC, my body rejected it. I tool a couple of bites and had to go to their restroom to throw it up.

I guess I’m just a hopeless Pollyanna, but I find this vulgar. And aren’t many KFC customers black? Maybe they should have the colonel participating in a slam-dunk contest, or twerking.

Sadly, we lost Kenny Rogers in 2020. Now, I'm not saying he was a handsome man, being that I'm a dude, but I'll bet the ladies would rank him up there with the Colonel. And he did roast up a fine bird.
