March 15th is the Last Day! Give and Receive

For every 100 copies of the Things Japanese Paperback that are sold before March 15th, 2010, BionicBong will support $500 to Haiti and these causes:

If we sell 100 copies we will support $500, if we sell 200 we will support $1000...You get the idea and now it's up to you how much we support.

We want to see you pose with the Colonel! Send your pics or videos to colonelpic(monkeytail)bionicbong.com. We’ll post them as they come in!!!

Have you seen the Japanese version of KFC’s Colonel Sanders? When I first saw him in Tokyo, I expected to see the Western version — chicken tasted great for sure, but didn’t expect a localization for the Japanese market ^^; (Photo: jpellgen)

Depending on the occasion, they also dress Mr. Sanders the way they want. Santa? No problem. Strange fat middle-aged men in yukata with a lace? No problem!
