RIOTS IN PROGRESS:

FREE 2-PIECE KFC DINNER
COMPLIMENTS OF OPRAH WINFREY CAUSING BIG PROBLEM!


No bullshit -- it's an actual free meal from Oprah for everyone in America (see Oprah's website). Click here to print out your free KFC chicken dinner -- IF THE LINK WORKS! Oprah's free KFC giveaway has caused sit-ins! See the official National KFC Sit-In MySpace Page. ALSO SEE: Sit-In/Riot Ensues After Midtown KFC Stops Accepting Free Food Coupons! AND riots have ensued because some KFC joints refuse to honor the coupons!

"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?"

"I just returned from my lunch break hoping to use the attached coupon to score some free KFC grilled chicken at the mid town location 47 E. 42nd Street. Well I guess around 200 people also had the same idea with coupons in hand. When I finally gave up (after 30 minutes of aguing with other customers) a small RIOT started going on outside the store with people screaming at the manager while he wont let them use their free KFC coupons (issued by OPRAH)."

This has happened to me before and a manager of one of the local KFC told me KFC has corporate and franchised stores and the franchises stores don’t have to accept the promotional deals.

The Free 2 Piece meal is NOT "on" Oprah. The individual stores are taking on the cost. The overwelming response is causing the stores and our chicken vendors to give out of chicken. The coupon is being canceled and KFC will be replacing it with a new coupon.

KFC must be trying to compete with the delicious McRib sandwich from McDonald's; it's hard to resist those yummy painted-on grill stripes...
