Colonel Sanders is dead. Or is he?

KFC, the company Sanders founded and nutured to international success has just unveiled their new logo – an updated, revamped and 87,000 square foot image of Colonel Sanders face.

The company launched their new logo by building this giant, tiled image in the desert near Area 51 in Rachel, Nevada. Area 51 is the mysterious site, rumored to be a spot where aliens once did (and may still) land.

The image is large enough that it can be seen from space. Which makes me wonder…

Is KFC going for the intergalactic demographic, subtly leading all visitors to this planet to KFC for some finger-licking good chicken? Do aliens have fingers? Or is it that aliens, looking down upon the impressively large image of Colonel Sanders think that he is our leader, and in demanding to be taken to him, the aliens also buy a bucket of extra crispy?
