Oprah Fried Chicken Fiasco

Thursday, May 07, 2009

Fears of rioting rip through downtown Manhattan today -

from the article:

KFC patrons report they can't use Oprah coupons
Louisville, we have a problem. A commenter says:

Unfortunately for those who worked on or near 42nd St., in NYC are not able to use the coupons. A KFC employee was literally screaming in front of the KFC stating, "NO MORE COUPONS" and turned people away. Thanks for nothing!!!!
And another:

I went to use my coupon today and there was a notice on the door stating that if your last 4 numbers in the bar code are 1234, the coupon is no good! Came home to try to print again and the site would not let me print another coupon.

Also a lot of problems with consumer error:

But reports indicate that downloading the coupon has been more frustrating than "finger-lickin' good." New York Magazine's Grub Street blog featured users who reported technical problems. "The chicken must be like air pudding ... no calories ... since I can't print the coupon," said one. Another added, "Nice gesture since I am unemployed and a free dinner would have been nice. I could not download the coupon."

Hmmmmm - a little market research would have been in order when determining the method for distribution of the damn coupons. Oh yeah - note to Oprah and KFC - the coupon numbers need to change for each coupon created.
I am looking up Broadway and I think I see some buildings on fire. Lot of sirens.

another report from NY:

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.

I'll bet "the whistle people" are Obama supporters. But I'm with them. If you don't like the way people act, then move out of the hood.

And don't knock Ms Oprah. I was home sick yesterday, and watched some TV. I saw a clip of her interviewing Mrs. Edwards, and Oprah is unseemly fat now. Pity her. Don't scorn her.

Keep in mind that it is the acceptance of Ms Oprah in American homes that paved the way for election of Obama. By the way, Oprah also attended Wright's hate ministry church.

And pay due homage to Ms Oprah. She has become a billionaire monetizing misery. (The "monetizing misery" phrase is from Dennis Miller.)

I wonder what Oprah's take is from peddling these giveaways. I would hope that she gets more than a bucket of chicken.

.my grandmother used to make beautiful fried chicken

Mine, too. Along with chocolate chip cookies that could almost induce orgasm.

Judging from the size of that ass that KFC could probably post advertisements on I'm guessing life is good for the Big "O".
