I am sure with Sharpton's support, chickens just clucked a collective cluck of relief.

Pass me some more of them mashed taters and corn please.

"When I go to KFC, I always get a Hillary Clinton special. Two small breasts and a left wing.

You should 'super size' that. If you do, they'll throw in a couple large thighs too.

[TFMcGuire]

Now this is strange news.

I'll bet that Al has cost the lives of many chickens over the years.

They probably shudder at the mention of his name.

He may say he's boycotting the chain, but watch the news for him to be caught at one any day now.

[KoRn]

LOL!!

[blackbart.223]

"Anything that has Je$$e Jackson, or Fraud Sharpton involved has an angle, bet on it."

Al is looking for shakedown money as he bombed in the last election.

[Callahan]

1963 - Martin Luther King says "I have a dream" as he demands freedom for African-Americans.

2005 - Al Sharpton says "I have a drumstick" as demands a better life for KFC's menu.

Clearly, progress has been made somewhere. Or has it?

[GeronL]

OK, I want some chicken

[GeronL]

"The chicken industry is way behind the beef and pork industries," said Dr. Temple Grandin

ROFL

[WorkingClassFilth]

Al dreams of a place where lunch is not judged by the crispiness of the skin, but by the net content of the bucket.

[SandRat]

So Al switches for KFC to Church's. He's just going to put money into a Muslim bank.

[sport]

Sharpton is just trying to shake KFC down.

If they stand up to him,I will buy more chicken from them.

Before you all become convinced that I am a bigot, I want to preface this with: My 18 year old stepdaughter, that I have raised since she was three, is Down Syndrome and Autistic. That being said. Temple Grandin is an odd case. She was supposedly severly Autistic and somehow got cured and part of that cure was her desiging cattle pens and shoots that made the cattle feel more secure. She knew this because she too felt more secure in them.

""If we give our money to KFC, we're paying for a life of misery for some of God's most helpless creatures," says Mr. Sharpton ..."

Yeah, but the helpless creatures sure taste good.

[BruceysMom]

sorry, I let the chimp type for awhile..shoots=shutes

[phoenix0468]

He didn't say protesting KFC, he said go tasting some KFC. By the size of him and Russell Simmons I don't think they could drive by a KFC without stopping in for a bite or two.

[esoxmagnum]

Well, the dems have courted the votes of the gays, the foreign, the dead, and now it appears that they are targeting chickens as their new voter base.....

It won't be long before Jesse Jackson gives a speech "not since Selma, have so many been disenfranchised.... these chickens too have a dream!"

[Richard Kimball]

I hear the thighs are huge with that order.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

Just one joke.....ahh come on we can do better than that.

[ThisLittleLightofMine]

I think Al needs to boycott his hairdresser.....his hair is seriously screwed up....(and I don't think it is on purpose).

[Mr.Clark]

I was a die hard KFC fan when I lived up north, but after I moved here to DC and tried Popeyes...well, I think I found a new team!
