Let’s get to the REAL question. What were you doing on Oprah’s site in the first place? Ewww!
Boyo Jim I’m sure you’ll let us all know when Jerry Springer gives out free food right.

Nice to see Oprah fighting black stereotypes by giving away fried chicken. I look forward to her big watermelon giveaway next month.

For the avoidance of doubt, the above is intended to be entirely tongue-in-cheek.
FYI, the coupon-printer software they ask you to install in order to print a coupon will NOT fully uninstall when you try to uninstall it. It leaves files behind…somewhere. What or where, exactly? Dunno. Apparently there’s been some controversy about it, link.
But… but… it’s GRILLED chicken!:eek:
I haven’t eaten at a KFC in probably 20 years.
It’s just too expensive.
BUT, today, I’m having it for lunch!
Thanks Oprah!
I printed one yesterday and tried to print another today, and it wouldn’t let me.
That was in response to the inquiry about if the code number was the same as the one Sampiro had. It was the same no matter how many times you downloaded it. The site was broken last night. It has already been figured out that it was not a valid coupon and I put in a valid coupon link last night. The Oprah site link also works now.
You’re getting a chicken! You’re getting a chicken! And you’re getting an error message!
It wants me to “download a coupon printer”, which I decline to do. Dang, I wanted some of that tasty, tasty grilled chicken!
Thanks, Sampiro. KFC isn’t exactly on my diet, but once this week isn’t going to kill me.
This is my sister’s response to the email in which I sent her the link.
You-Know-Who is, of course, Lord Voldemort. Or Lord Obama, who my sister sees as the far scarier. (Interestingly both went by the name of Tom Riddle in school, Voldemort at Hogwarts and Obama at Wartdrassa in his native Iran.)
OK, this is cracking me up.
The link is going around like mad; I got it yesterday in email, again today in email from a completely unrelated source, and now here.
I won’t download the coupon printer. It’s spyware that won’t uninstall from a company that has sued someone for publishing instructions on how to get rid of it. But really.
An Oprah coupon download to control every computer in the country for Obama? Of course, Ruken’s link shows that the spyware has been reported since September 2007. Wait, September?!?
Run for your lives! Your computers are now controlled by the terrorists!
There was a very long line at KFC at lunch today.
And the workstation support guys are going to bepissed that I loaded the coupon printer on my work laptop.
Gotta love virtual workstations. Load anything, press reset. Bob’s yer uncle.
My wife just called. She went to KFC for lunch today, coupon in hand. The place was completely packed. They weren’t even operating the cash registers, they were just handing out food. They said it eventually got to where you could pretty much get anything on the menu because they’d just given away all their grilled chicken pieces. They didn’t even take her printed coupon.
And this is going on for two weeks. Either this will be the most successful marketing strategy in the history of marketing strategies or it will bankrupt KFC.
Or both.
First Pontiac… now KFC.
The Oprah site says all coupons will be honored
From what I’ve heard they aren’t being too rigorous about enforcement.
ETA: I feel sorry for the folks answering the phones. I bet they’re getting swamped.
For the record – I gave one of the coupons I printed off last night to a coworker who printed off a couple more and he and a few others went to KFC for lunch – all coupons worked fine (with the same #'s) in Hendersonville, TN.
Yeah, I went for lunch today - having printed the pdf with the 12345 fake-looking number - with no problems. It was just a big line, they wrote down which sides we wanted and if it was to-go or not. They said we could either wait about 20 minutes for the new grilled or take original or crispy right then so I skipped out on waiting!
