Appreciate the sentiment of the OP, but there is something I don't think anyone else noted. Ronald McDonald was always a character. I realize he is dead now but Colonel Harland Sanders was an actual human being. I mean, I guess now he is a logo or a brand or a media device or whatever you want to call him, but he wasn't "supposed to be a southern gentleman" he was an actual human being who served fried chicken to other actual human beings "family style" in his first restaurant in Corbin Kentucky and later morphed it into a chain, which he sold.

JOHN ROBERTS: From time to time in the years to come, I hope you will be treated unfairly so that you will come to know the value of justice... I wish you bad luck, again, from time to time so that you will be conscious of the role of chance in life and understand that your success is not completely deserved and that the failure of others is not completely deserved either.
