What a horrible, selfish thing for this company to do. They are horrible people and they should feel bad.

SuperChuck		2012-04-12 10:24:04 AM

Why not? Aren't evacuees likely to be hungry?

Off to the studio late night
Time to cut another track
It's gotta be hype
Got my rhyme book in hand
A blue loose leaf
Anybody move on that
They get loose teeth
Evil's got the funky beat
A stupid dope loop
But the record's kind of old!
(What we gonna do troop?)
We gotta clean it up
Cause it's so dope
Tried the rubbing alcohol
Even the Ivory soap
But no matter what we do
The record keeps clickin'
FARK IT!
Evil E, give me some of that
Damn fried chicken!

Did they get Mary J Blige to sing about it?

cgraves67		2012-04-12 10:28:09 AM

Whoa, the ground is shaking. Who else is in the mood for fried chicken?

cbackous		2012-04-12 10:29:08 AM

I see nothing wrong with this.

I would have to be especially desperate to use Facebook to communicate with anyone during an earthquake.

For fried chicken . . . eh, I doubt it's terribly good fried chicken.

Well it was really an issue of tsunami warning, which means. Get to high ground and wait, and wait some more.

Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, and Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee beady eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"

Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?

Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

trappedspirit		2012-04-12 10:50:05 AM

And this did what harm to who pusses?

WelldeadLink		2012-04-12 10:50:26 AM

Shaken, then fried.

Felt my first earthquake yesterday at midnight. A solid 6.9.

/And yes, I checked FB and Twitter on my cellphone when I was standing in the door like a putz

When reached for comment, KFC Spokesman Leeroy Jenkins said, "Well, at least I got chicken"

0Icky0		2012-04-12 10:57:53 AM

The local Thai-style fried chicken, especially in the South, is way better than KFC. They need to get customers any way they can.

Mad_Radhu		2012-04-12 11:01:12 AM

When you're fleeing collapsing buildings, why no go running with chicken? (new window)

BigNumber12		2012-04-12 11:04:48 AM

This is just common sense. If the power's out, the chicken's gonna spoil.

On the phone.

ladyfortuna		2012-04-12 11:38:28 AM

I think it was the way they said it that caused the outrage. If they'd said something like "orders half off because we'd rather it gets eaten than spoils in case of power outage", that would be one thing. But ""Let's hurry home and follow the earthquake news. And don't forget to order your favorite KFC menu."?

Far too blatant. There are subtleties in marketing, idiots...

Sticky Hands		2012-04-12 11:43:06 AM

It's not like they were pushing popcorn.

anyway, we at KFC are sorry about this whole unfortunate mess, how about forgive and forget and settle our differences over a bucket of tasty chicken, your treat.

I really have no idea why U.S. people are hated the world over.

But this story helps explain things, somehow.

/Seriously, why do people look for compassion from corporations? "The bottom line IS the bottom line," n'est-ce pas?
