Oprah decided to give out coupons for free grilled chicken at KFC, because if there’s one thing that Oprah understands it’s a healthy diet. She thought, “let me see if I can do what I have done for books to America’s stomachs: make them huge!” But now her plan to murder us has backfired! There is no chicken! Just chicken riots! Gawker reports:

Reports are pouring in from the scene of the melee:

“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)”

Now imagine the rioters were white.

Between this and the Popeye’s fiasco, I think it’s safe to say that Fast Food Chicken riots are having the Best Week Ever?!

  1. I can only imagine that between this and the pigfluenza panic the beef industry is feeling pretty good about itself.

  2. This cross promotion about a cross promotion brought to you by Viacom? ;)

  3. “Now imagine the rioters were white.”

    Too good! A Time to Riot Over Chicken.

  4. There’re plenty of things to riot over in this day and age, and a KFC grilled chicken sandwich is most assuredly not one of those things.

    Make it a bucket of extra crispy and some of their biscuits, though, and I’d shank a bitch with the best of ‘em.

    Slow clap for the Grisham reference (er… I assume).

  6. Popeye’s > Kfc. Therefore I am inclined to side with the Popeye’s rioters (?) on Chicken Debacle Month.

    I made $50 bucks off my free coupon-go figure?

  8. Why would you go to KFC for grilled chicken? That’s completely against their marketing standpoint, which is 1) Sell Fried Chicken.

    There is no #2.

  9. This just goes to show that LOL.

  10. “Now imagine the rioters were white.” Is that some sort of reference or joke I’m not getting, because it seems sort of racist for no reason.

  11. There was furor in the public library because folks wanted to print out their coupons from the free internetz, but ooh snap, we make them pay for print jobs.

    I live in Wheaton Illinois. I stopped by the kfc near my house. I was told by the manager they could not honor my coupon becuase there were a franchise and not a corporaton. What the hell! that info was not listed on the coupon. I don?t blame oprah I feel this was kfc greedy way of getting publicity that in the end will cost them. I will take my business to ?popeyes? better chicken anyway. I feel Oprah was not informed . IN the end, the famous kfc chickend out!

    KFC Riots – Do a search for KFC Riots on YouTube. You will find many.

  14. Does anyone who lives in Wheaton REALLY need a free meal? The answer is no. You probably drove to the KFC in a BMW.
