I doubt many black people care about this.

I fuckin' love KFC, don't know what you talkin' bout on that one.

All people love KFC, it's fried and it's chichen... common now.

The coupon is for their new crappy grilled stuff and not the tasty fried version.

AFAIK KFC is not getting 'douchey'. These coupons are even showing up on ebay now.

Simply mass overload.

They will be offering this deal up in the near future and sweetening it with a free small drink.

You idiots doing sit-ins where they have RUN OUT OF CHICKEN are morans.

It happened here too. I didn't think a free meal was that critical to our country, but is shows the savages we live with.

I have printed one coupon and my wife will use it in the near future.

What did they expect when they came out with a coupon for an entire free meal, advertised it on Oprah, and made it available for each person to print 4 off the internet?

If they couldn't handle the load, then they should have done a different promotion or advertised it less heavily.

My whole family got free chicken. It was tasty. "Mad props" to KFC for the free food. Boo urns to the people who turned the places into zoos with their fake ass coupons.

Anybody want any leftover coupons?

He puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly....smartass!

Uhm... the fact that KFC's promotion lasted for a good 3-4 days is awesome. I've gone to Quiznos when they had the free million regular sub giveaways, went on the second day of the event and NOTHING!

KFC rocks. Have you even seen the lines? Dude it's ridiculous.

The problem is they are saying 90% of the coupons were not printed directly. Many made several copies of the same coupons, bypassed the 'coupon code' limiter, etc.

KFC is still doing the right thing and they are not renegging on the deal. They just need to remanage the process so fools don't bring down restaurants.

This. People on forums were printing massive amounts of copies of coupons from Adobe because they didn't "like" the coupon printer program. Yet, they felt they were still entitled to a free meal.

Not quite true. there are plenty of KFC in the inner city, and it seems they are on equal standing with Popeye's in that demographic.

anyway, the actual order of your rnaking is this:

Bojangles > Churches > whatever else is out there > Popeyes > KFC

Exactly.

Someone even posted a link (gone now) to where he arranged 3 and 4 photocopies of the coupon on a page so you could save paper.

Should KFC have anticipated coupon fraud and abuse? Apparently and sadly, they should have. Are they then douchebags for stopping the abuse? Not in my book. If you have a legitimate coupon, you can still get a raincheck for a free meal - which is what you were supposed to get in the first place - plus a free drink.

So KFC used this company to print out coupons on their behalf, but didn't have a system in place to verify and void the coupons after being used? Wow.

:thumbsup:

I recall the fail thread of last year regarding the similar Sears debacle, where people (and one AT member in particular) were stacking discount coupons due to a technicality, buying piles upon piles of shit that they didn't need simply b/c they could get it at massive discounts.

damn, i whish we had church's chicken in oregon. we used to go there all the time in arizona. it was way better than kfc.

not anymore, the chicken is dry more than not, the crusty ass breading is too crunchy and usually the chicken is overcooked. their corn rocks tho, as does their mashed n gravy

Exactly what I was just thinking. This is simply another case of the fatwallet / slickdeals crowd taking advantage of a promotion and ruining it for everyone else (not to say that the entirety of those communities are responsible, just the types that will do anything and everything to take advantage of a good deal).

lol I said "typically" you'd be an exception. The proof is the lack of KFC's in the ghetto areas. I'm sure I could find black people on here who like Mayo too, but they definitely would not be the normal, or even close to such.

I wonder how many people are going to try to game the rain check system, and are going to start showing up at every KFC in town asking for rain checks to be delivered to all of their friends and family?

I'll bet that a few unemployed people over at FatWallet already have a strategy

Yeah, what are you some kind of ghetto scientist? Down here it's either Popeyes or KFC, but I usually see both in our 'ghetto' areas.
