Red face Not to be stereotypical

People really want their chicken...

MAY 7--Oprah Winfrey has grease on her hands. The KFC giveaway promoted by the talk show host has triggered, in some locales, the Great Chicken Riots of 2009. Swamped by patrons carrying coupons offering them a free meal (two pieces of grilled chicken, two sides, and a biscuit), KFC outlets nationwide have struggled to placate unruly poultry-seeking crowds. In North Carolina, a 911 caller last night summoned Greensboro Police Department officers to a local eatery where "subjs arguing" and traffic had been "completely blocked off," creating a "hazard," according to the below incident report. And Gothamist even reported that a chicken outage at one New York City KFC triggered a sit-in protest. The class action lawsuit over the coupon (which can be seen here) surely can only be days away.

kfc has such crappy service anyway, i tried to go and BUY some grilled chicken last night through the drive thru and the manager on the drive through was just chillin' there talking with the customer in front of me for 30 minutes... they went on to discuss how many times they got pregnant, their kids, where they are in life, etc etc etc in a loud fashion might i add as i was in the car behind this idiot. needless to say my sister and i were pissed so we backed out of the drive through and went to panda express instead
