Orca's KFC Coupon Deal Screws Up The Colonel's Coup

You'd think the country was all bent out of shape this afternoon because their new communist government is marking every front door in America with GPS coordinates, or whizzing away trillions and trillions of their families fortunes now and forever for ACORN and other solelely left wing groups

No, instead what really pissed off the fat-assed masses today was a failed Orca promotion at Kentucky Fried Muslim Chicken, home of the Halal meal where the Oprah watching tubs of Goo couldn't cash in or print a lousy coupon for a piddly little free meal that consisted of a little piece of chicken and a roll.

Like I said, if you went to this website now linked on Drudge you'd a thought they all found out they we're lied to by Obama about 95% of Americans receiving tax cuts that lasted exactly a month before being revoked and spit into the filling up fast Obama Memory Hole which more resembles a black hole everyday.

Americans sure have their priorities straight. Overweight And Greedy Pigs.

Jay Hancock's blog: KFC patrons report they can't use Oprah coupons

Economic navigation and sightseeing - baltimoresun.com: "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.

Jay here. ALL the pdf versions of the coupons (see post below) have the 1234 UPC number. I have a call into KFC public relations about this and about whether they're going to be swamped by all the demand. Will report back when I hear.

UPDATE: More reports of KFC customers unable to redeem grilled chicken coupons. Metro New York customers do not seem to be having good KFC experiences today:

If the coupon doesn't print, consider it a blessing! the portchestoer NY store sort of honored a few before noon (2 wings, mash & no biscuit) and then told the remaining coupon holders (that were shunned into a separate line) that the chicken was gone. I eat atr this KFC regularly and was treated like a vagrant because I had a coupon; that they issued!

And:

well we went to kfc in brooklyn center off brooklyn blvd and they also said that if any of us had the same numbers they weren't going to take them.everyones coupons end with 1234'so we went to another one got served went back and talked with the 1st place.they were only serving one per car.

And:

I just came back from the North Lake KFC in Pasadena California, where the sign on the door read "We are not accepting internet coupons".

UPUPDATE: Scott in San Antonio says he & friends successfully redeemed PDF-based coupons. Since he says all coupons' barcodes were the same, I assume they all ended in 1234, which seems to be all you get from the PDF version.

I was able to print it no problem with FireFox. I also saved the PDF. Others who went to get it got the same coupon code. We all went to lunch together and joined the long line of other people waiting for their free chicken. We were politely served and while it took about 10 minutes for our food to be ready, we did get it and in no way felt slighted.

I guess I know what I will be eating for the next two weeks! :)

(BTW, this was in San Antonio)

KFC denies reports of free-chicken riots -

Food Inc.- msnbc.com: "LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Customers at a New York City KFC hoping to redeem coupons for a free meal were disgruntled when the fast-food restaurant ran out of its new grilled chicken, but Internet rumors of a riot were unfounded, a Kentucky Fried Chicken spokeswoman said Wednesday.

'Some customers were upset because they couldn't get their chicken, but there was no riot,' said Laurie Schalow.

Schalow said the Manhattan restaurant on East 42nd Street plans to begin honoring the coupons again Thursday after it resupplies the kitchen."

All this crap over some free chicken dinners, God please help us all even though most of the country no longer deserves your divine intervention and hand of protection any longer.
