Who wants some free chicken?

[Pringles]

Did you call the police?

Nah, I should have known better. Same thing happened a week or so back when they had the "Try our Grilled Chicken for free on Monday" deal. There were a few commercials for it on TV which is how I found out about it. They ran out of chicken earlier in the day, and when I went back waited in line for like 15 minutes with 25 other people only to have them run of of chicken again.

There were a lot of angry people that day, and that was a free give away of only one piece of chicken lol.

erm, why is oprah's name attached to this? what was the big deal? she didn't like the fact that 9 wings came from the same "chicken"?

Oprah was the one that made this promotion possible.

KFC's Refusal to Give Away Grilled Chicken Sparks Sit-In? - Gothamist: New York City News, Food, Arts & Events

Yesterday Oprah Winfrey thought she'd be nice and arrange for free KFC grilled chicken for everybody. Big mistake. The demand for free fowl has been so overwhelming that many people are having a dickens of a time getting their chickens because the website can't handle all the coupon downloads. This morning Grub Street compiled some of the more "heart wrenching" comments from thwarted KFC consumers on Oprah's site, such as "I'M MELTING CAN'T GET THE COUPONS PLEASE IS THERE ANOTHER WAY OF GETTING THEM ???? HUNGRY FOR THE CHIICKEN" and "Nice gesture since I am unemployed and a free dinner would have been nice. I could not download the coupon."

And now this harrowing report from the scene of a KFC on 42nd Street between Madison and Park has landed in our inbox:

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?

More than a dozen calls placed to the KFC in question have been met with an ominous busy signal. We can only assume a riot squad is currently cracking skulls to save that last defenseless grilled chicken from the freeloading mob. Developing...

UPDATE: The photo seen here was just sent to us from our source, who returned to the KFC in question but was unable to get inside to assess the situation. We're told that "unfortunately the manager is now standing in the entrance and all of the patrons are inside since it's post-lunch rush." We can only assume it's a bloodbath in there. Still developing...

These * need to take a step back and look at themselves and what they are doing to the image of the black community.

if so, why does the barcode look so weird?

[Askari0]

Printed coupons. Went there. Waited 20 minutes to get the food. Ate the biscuit, potatoes and two bites of a leg. Threw the rest of that shit away. Fuck Oprah and her lying bitch ass.

[Xno Kappa]

I wouldn't be surprised if this was just another social experiment from Oprah before she moves on to Phase IV towards world domination.

[Dezzimal]

if so, why does the barcode look so weird?

Its a matrix or 2d barcode, holds more information in a smaller area. If the KFC you end up going to scans your coupon and you print from that PDF it will probably get rejected, since each barcode given out is unique.
