You cannot keep a good hoodrat from their free chicken. My entire extended family is getting their panties in a bunch and suing the chicken slaughterers for withholding that free roadkill (chuckles).
You all remember the Oprah free chicken giveaway and the epic fail of running out of food in the first week. People Googled the sh*t outta it to get their coupons, put on their church panties and headed to the eatery. Well, all those people that were left out in the cold, are getting their possums waxed especially for their day in court – as they are suing KFC.
Yep. Allowing a greasy roadkill fail to happen is a crime of the highest degree and punishment is death by drowning in RPatz hair grease (if they’d pulled it off they would have been rewarded with Fish Lips 2.0 wrapped in a bow and delivered to their headquarters).
James Asanuma just filed the suit on behalf of KFC fans everywhere, saying the chain’s May giveaway was nothing short of a scam to deceive its customers into spending more dough. The lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, says KFC promised everyone “2 pieces of grilled chicken, two individual sides and a biscuit” — but the promotion, which was promoted on the “Oprah Winfrey Show,” turned out to be so popular they couldn’t meet the demand.
The suit says this “bait and switch” caused customers to incur “travel costs, paper and printing costs, postage, the money they spent on other food items at KFC on visits when they had intended to redeem the Coupon … and the loss of the value of the promised Meal.” (via TMZ who don’t have any free chicken either)
People in the States sue for EVERYTHING!!!! Grrr. It was free food, this dude needs to shut it.
I don’t really get that. But you are right. The UK is almost as bad, but I guess there is nothing off limits for a pointless lawsuit.
*side eye & crickets.
what did they expect? Chicken causes a dayum frenzy. I think the idea was bogus on so many levels but to sue? Ridiculously gluttonous behavior. *rolls eyes
Someone was always going to lose an eye or get sued right. It was a hot ghetto mess waiting to happen :O
i didn’t get my chciken, but i’m not about to sue. it’s just chicken. unless it was meant to be someone;s last meal, there’s no need for all this….and they wonder why folks are fat and lazy nowadays! Geesh!
Dude, you mean you are not spending money on a lawsuit and lawyers after spending money on gas (and your time of course) getting some “free” chicken. People’s lack of grasp of maths and the fact they think this is free is astonishing. Did no one ever explain “opportunity cost” to them. Get a damn calculator. Boo to all the people who cannot add.
