Even better response from KFC. We’ve hired an independent investigator to determine exactly what happened but either way we’ve committed $30,000 to medical bills and we will stick to that.
OK, I admit this could have happened anywhere, but you have to say, Mississippi just gives the story a touch of jen e sais quoi
Gramma: “Oops, my bad, it was the other fried chicken place.” :rolleyes:
KFC has said they’ll give the money to the girl no matter what; good for them!
Next thing they should do is go after gramma for defamation.
So now it’s not a hoax anymore?
I only get my news from Buzzfeed headlines so I’m not watching/reading legitimate news here…but now it’s apparently not a hoax anymore.
What an odd odd story
And send whatever damages they can get from that suit to the workers of the KFC who were receiving death threats, having drinks thrown in their faces at the drive-thru, etc.
My preferred result: KFC (and others) help the little girl get her medical care and grandma goes to jail for fraud.
Link? All current stories I see are reporting that it is apparently a hoax.
No don’t send Grandma to jail. A criminal mastermind like that would soon be running the outside from the inside, like in American Me.
:eek: <— This smiley doesn’t look nearly horrified enough in reaction to that statement.
Pack up your shit, humanity. It’s time to give another species a chance.
The girl’s aunt is the one claiming that it’s not a hoax. 'Course, this is the same woman who was supposedly responsible for claiming it happened at a closed KFC.
From the article:
Except keep untrained and unmaintained dogs that mauled her.
From CNN -
I wonder what the response rate calling the story unlikely was of Dopers compared to the other sites with commentary on the story.
This sort of thing happens rather more frequently than I like. Eventually it will make people stop giving, I’m afraid.
I’m still glad IF the little girl really will benefit in some way. But grandma is a piece of shit.
Well, if it really was a hoax.
Yes! For once I wasn’t gullible! I’m growing!
TEN of them - that’s more than just a family per or two
Oh please. There were plenty of people all over the internet that realized this story was BS. Jeez. The whole “smartest people on the internet” thing is really tired.
Oh come on, nothing but the best and the brightest here at the SDMB! 
Don’t infer that I necessarily believe that, I was just wondering. There were plenty of people who bought the story without question, such as many of the people who donated money as well as the people who gave death threats to KFC employees. Any links???
