I got it earlier with a PDF.

Exact same here. Called a female non-internet savvy friend and felt I needed to walk her through it. She has a laptop but no printer. Fail and frustration ensued. Life is not fair, but it sure has it's quota of sly humor. :laugh:

why not just grab the PDF for printing for the next 14 days?

I called and they close at midnight, 2 minutes from now... they open at 10am though. :D

I just went. It took 45 minutes to get our food. There wasn't a line, the 8 people working there were just inept.

nutrition facts don't really seem that bad other than, esp. if you take the skin off.

is there even any real evidence that MSG is bad for you?

Stuart Mackenzie: The Queen, The Vatican, The Gettys, The Rothschilds, *and* Colonel Sanders before he went tits up. Oh, I hated the Colonel with is wee *beady* eyes, and that smug look on his face. "Oh, you're gonna buy my chicken! Ohhhhh!"
Charlie Mackenzie: Dad, how can you hate "The Colonel"?
Stuart Mackenzie: Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes ya crave it fortnightly, smartass!

kfc fail
installing spyware on peoples pc's is fail.
encouraging dangerous behavior from web surfers for a freakin coupon is fail.

Are you sure? I install it and my antispyware software did not sense it. I may do a spyware scan to make sure.

I have these strong doubts KFC is going to scan and check these against a database.

PDF Here

the stupid program was annoying me so i just googled KFC and that popped up.
I got it today, the grilled chicken doesnt even really looked grilled. Its like fried with grill marks. Ive never seen grilled chicken so greasy. Anyways, it was decent, no where near El Polo Loco, and i would not have paid for it. The guy barely even looked at the coupon, he just took it cause there were so many other people using it.

Spybot Search and Destroy tells me that it's adware.
