Coffin Conversations - December 2006

KFC's Marketing Resulted To Laughable Japanese Custom

December 22nd 2006 22:45
Another news about my favorite race, the Japanese.

Christmas (Krismas is what I call it) is not a holiday in Japan since most of the population are either Buddhists or Shinto. However, they still celebrate the day in a very unusual way. They have a KFC dinner because they believe that Westerners celebrate it that way. Blame it on the marketing campaign of KFC there. KFC's head honchos in America must be laughing while the Yen keeps on flowing in.

That place is so wonderfully surreal that nothing would suprise me... though gotta admit, much as i dislike McCulture, KFC's chilli chicken rocks (and please don't tell anyone I said that!)
