UPDATE! Oprah's Free Chicken Offer Sparks Sit-Ins, Long Lines ...
Oprah's been Twittering like nobody's business! She's not giving out new cars or her book club pick this time.

You see, KFC hired some million-dollar PR firm that figured replacing the word "fried" with "grilled" would make the chain's genetically engineered birds sound healthier and the company would sell more chicken. Its new slogan: "un-think what you thought about KFC."
Yeah, right. I'll do that right after I un-think what I thought about Dominos Pizza's YouTube special. I don't know what's worse, Oprah's Grilled Chicken or Obama Chicken Fingers.
Free chicken scares me. Here's why. Did you hear about what happened when Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits gave out free chicken last month? It got ugly when they ran out. Watch the video.
Anyway, before you go storming your local KFC, read the rules and print a coupon, which includes two free sides and a biscuit. It's a recession, money's tight and I'll stop hatin'.
+ COMMUNITY: Got My Free KFC Chicken
The Oprah Winfrey Show/Kentucky Grilled Chicken Two-Piece Meal Coupon
Limited time download coupon available from 9 a.m. CDT on May 5, 2009, to 9:59 p.m. CDT on May 6, 2009. Coupon is redeemable at participating KFC® locations in the United States from May 5, 2009 to May 19, 2009 -- excluding Mother's Day, May 10, 2009.

Yes, the website downloads Malware why don't they just remove the Malware my antivirus program zone alarm will not allow you to purposely download Malware my truthful opinion they are responsible they have been notified that their program has Malware attached to the software there is no reason why they is cannot put the coupon on the webpage as a JPEG picture this is my opinion they are lucky that there is not a good attorney out there to go after them for affecting computers with Malware user beware lookup what Malware will do to your computer and your personal information

It's amazing! Even if it's free someone is going to whine. Just go and say Thank You, if you still remember how! Anybody got a new rope?

This should really get the Obama welfare supporters running to the free meal deal. Bet Oprah could down a 25 piece bucket with no problems.

Worst chicken I've ever had, the seasoning was horrible. I also think they are using Cornish Hens and not chickens.

i agree, she's promoting it but i guarantee that she's not eating it. it's not real chicken, that's why they were forced changed the name years ago from Kentucky Fried Chicken, to KFC.

I tried to print the KFC coupon and the message said that I had already printed it the allowed amount of times. No one in my family printed this coupon. After reading the comments I am glad that I was rejected. My diet does not need these fat grams any way.
