Well, yeah. He was real. Dead now.

[–]CaptInsane 7 points8 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Though dead, he's still real...

[–]EOverM 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

Yes, but "he is real" implies that he is currently still with us. It's a failing of English grammar, not of intent.

[–]CaptInsane -1 points0 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

In that case, "existed" is better, because saying "he's not real" means "he never existed/is imaginary/made up" not "he's dead (Jim)"

[–]EOverM 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I never said he's not real. I said he WAS real. He is now dead. Standard English grammar in this case is to refer to events in the past that are no longer occurring as "was". The existence of this man, now deceased, is an event in the past that is no longer occurring. It's like saying Henry VIII was real - he was. He still IS, technically, in that his reality didn't end when his life did - but you don't say that "Henry VIII IS real", because that implies he's still around today. Which is patently false.

I think, perhaps, you've misread something I've written.

It's for marketing purposes. The Chinese love KFC.

I know The city of Louisville sometimes hires Colonel Sanders impersonators to walk the streets greeting tourists, so that may be what we're looking at here.

I was at a String Cheese Incident show recently and had a fucked up dude in his 40's or 50's dressed like the Colonel start yelling at me for holding two beers... I think I was close to hitting the Colonel in the face, except that indeed I was holding two beers.

Was this taken in LA? I swear this guy was on the game show "Lets make a deal" with me. He was colonel sanders alright. All he was wearing was his white suit and bow tie. After looking at the picture for a while I know that this has to be the man I saw.
