Oprah Winfrey's latest offer was meant to provide a free Kentucky Fried Chicken meal for all her fans.

Instead, it sparked a free-for-all after branches across the States ran out of grilled chicken.

People reported bizarre scenes as disgruntled customers threatened to resort to violence as others staged sit-ins demanding their food.

Worst hit was the East 42nd Street outlet in New York where hundreds turned up at brandishing coupons downloaded from the chat show host's website.

Each voucher could be redeemed for two pieces of grilled chicken, two individual side orders and a biscuit.

Unfortunately, KFC appeared to have been inadequately prepared for the onslaught and were soon having to turn furious customers away.

Internet reports of a full-scale riot, however, appear to have been somewhat exaggerated.

'Some customers were upset because they couldn't get their chicken, but there was no riot,' KFC spokesman Laurie Schalow.

“Exactly what will happen when we have ‘free’ health care.”

Precisely! I can’t believe people are angry because something they didn’t get for free ran out. The sense of entitlement is stunning, and is one of the big reasons we are struggling somewhat as a nation.

I wonder if any of them dialed 9-1-1.

Exactly what will happen when we have free health care.

that's where the bribing of lower-level govt functionaries comes in, as is de rigeur in most other parts of the world.

Isn't "fried chicken" to african americans somewhat stereotypically racist?

Can't wait until she gets to the Polish culture's freebies, I want me some Kielbasa!

[Petronski]

The truly bizarre part is that the coupon is good until the 19th. If the restaurant near you runs out, COME BACK another time.
