Behold the power of a free leg, thigh, two sides and a biscuit. Forget social injustice. You want to organize a sit-in? Try denying folks their right to free Kentucky fried…erm, um…I mean grilled chicken.
You see, yesterday Oprah offered coupons to all of her viewers that entitled them to one two piece grilled chicken meal. The offer is good from now until May 19th, 2009. First of all, the coupon server is way overloaded and it’s damn near impossible to get the thing to download. And even if you managed that, as many did, not every franchise operator is down with Oprah’s offer.
So leave it to the denizens of New York City to take their protest to the next level. According to eyewitnesses, folks staged a sit-in after being denied free grilled meat with sides. WTF?!? This aint a ’50s lunch counter folks.
“I went over to our nearest KFC a few minutes ago…and chaos ensued. Despite the very visible grilled chicken behind the register, the manager told everyone with coupons to leave and that the promotion was over for the day. The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken .. .or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde. Oprah, what have ye wrought?”
Hah! No chicken for YOU! You may attempt to get your coupon here….but don’t hold your breath.
I think a more recent photo of her will show she’s failed in her attempt to stay away from KFC’s fried deliciousness.
Don’t worry if you didn’t get a coupon. KFC ran out of the normal chicken pieces, and now has to use slightly less preferred parts to fulfill coupon orders. It takes more than eleven herbs and spices to turn claws and beaks into a tasty meal
KFC is terrible. I bought a chicken sandwich and got a piece of shoe leather on a bun. The manager tried to convince me that dried out chicken fillet is what they sell.
Why waste your time on minimum wage chicken?
This KFC give away is a perfect example of what will happen with universal heath care.
The only way to control costs is to ration treatment.
Everything you ever saw being given away says “limited quantities or limited time or both.
a “grilled” chicken option from KFC sounds like a good idea… it would be even better if they didn’t use meat from biologically engineered chicken-beasts
Something for nothing + Black people =
Seems like Oprah is getting desparate for things to promote on her show…
