A “serious” documentary that came out where they essentially took all their assumptions based on loosely watching groups in Africa and produced this gem…..by gem i mean it makes you want to say “Reaaallly?! This was green-lighted by someone funding it?” Yeah, they’re so way off reality its actually funny though. Gotta love the British voice-over though… makes it even worse when you listen to what he’s saying.. lol

This is one videoclip that must have been pulled from the deep back corners of the archives: It’s Kentucky Fried Chickens celebrity spokesman, founder & social icon Colonel Harland Sanders as the weekly guest on the popular CBS game show What’s My Line? (circa 1964). People talk a lot these days about “You are now the brand” or about “Brands coming to life,” well here’s an example of one company that made their brand come to life in the everyday life of its’ founder…RIP my dear old southern friend.
