...hummm...the argument seems to be that people should be responsible for their physical health...which is logical enough...but consider the failure of American education...the upsurge of mood elevating drugs, attention deficiency, the influence of mind numbing television and pure arrogance (derived from stupidity)...People are too stupid to take care of themselves and too selfish too care if they cause health care (among other things) costs to rise for everyone...plus, healthy food is expensive.

Grilled Chicken Riots of 2009

Oprah Winfrey thought she'd be nice and arrange for free KFC grilled chicken for everybody. Big mistake. The demand for free fowl has been so overwhelming that many people are having a dickens of a time getting their chickens because the website can't handle all the coupon downloads.
Then this harrowing report from the scene of a KFC in New York City:

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?

KFC Pothole Patrol

Don't be surprised if you see Colonel Sanders out filling potholes. In an unusual cause-marketing push, KFC is tackling the pothole problem in Louisville, Kentucky in exchange for stamping the fresh pavement with "Re-freshed by KFC," a chalky stencil likely to fade away in the next downpour.

Curse of the Colonel Lifted?

Osaka, Japan - A statue of Colonel Sanders, Kentucky Fried Chicken's founder, is displayed by Osaka city officers after it was recovered from the sludge of a river nearly a quarter century after it went missing on March 11, 2009.
The discovery made national headlines and television news because the disappearance of the statue occured in 1985 after fans of the popular local professional baseball team Hanshin Tigers threw the statue into the river after the team won their only Japan Series championship.
The lack of another championship since 1985, including two losses in the finals in 2003 and 2005, has been hence blamed on the "curse of the colonel" by fans.

Republican Racists Run Rampant

A Republican women's club in San Bernardino County sent out a recent newsletter with a photo of Barack Obama surrounded by fried chicken, watermelon and ribs, sparking widespread outrage and rebuke from GOP leaders and Democrats.
The illustration shows the Democratic presidential candidate's head atop a donkey's body on a bogus $10 bill referred to as "Obama Bucks." Inscribed on the money are the words "United States Food Stamps" surrounded by stereotypical African American food.
The organization's president said she meant it "to represent food, nothing else."

SAD MOMENTS IN KFC HISTORY

Pam puts her Beak in it...

Pam Anderson is currently in Australia appearing on Big Brother, but she's also managed to stage a protest at a local KFC. This is pretty funny, because KFC is a major sponsor of BB. Pam and some other pasty white Peta weirdos hand delivered a letter to the HBIC of KFC Australia earlier today.
It Said:
I've been in Australia filming Big Brother, in which my housemates and I are confined and sealed off from the outside world, much like the chickens who are crammed inside barns for KFC. Fortunately, I won't be stomped to death, have my legs broken or be scalded to death in a tank of hot water—yet, as PETA's undercover videos have revealed, the chickens raised for KFC's restaurants in Australia often suffer these abuses.
