Popeyes runs out of chicken

[0roo0roo]

beyond the omg black thing...
bit stupid of them to complain so hard, a company can only lose so much money.

I didn't interpret the story to be racist at all, it didn't even cross my mind. What concerns me is that the word n*gger appears almost 200 times in the Youtube comments, usually in an extraordinarily harsh and racist context. Some of those comments are brutal.

That's America for you, if a liquor store had ran out of wine they wouldn't have ran a news story showing angry white females complaining there wasn't any more wine. So why did the run this one? The people who used the N word in the comments represent far more than just a few people. A lot would think it, but wouldn't actually come out ever say it. Some might not even know they're thinking it, but if this story made them laugh that hard they should take a good look at themselves in the mirror. At best this is "ok, it's black people and chicken, I get it, it's MILDLY amusing" The majority of my friends are black, and while most of them like Chicken, I have never seen one go ape shit over it. So I don't see what exactly is so humorous here. The stereotype goes well beyond simply that blacks love chicken. That's no more funny than white females loving wine, which is another stereotype which is pretty much true. I'm not sure where people get the idea that there are millions of black people who run around screaming and dancing when they eat Fried Chicken. They pretty much eat it like any white person I know.

I know many black people that like wine. They drink the good stuff like Cisco, Boone's Farm, Maddog 20/20, all the quality one's.

Do People actually still eat that shit?:shocked:

I went to Albertson's the other day and those bastards failed to order enough watermelon. There were only 5 early watermelons and 8 customers in front of me. Later on, after grabbing some other shit I needed, I fell into the line behind all of them. The fuckers paid with foodstamps and I would have paid good green cash for one of those watermelons. There was this really sweet fat lady in the parking lot and I noticed she had a pretty nice melon going, actually a couple of them. I suddenly realized that gettin a watermelon or any melons would be futile.....that day. I went in to make her an offer for her melons but she started cussing me out in some other language, picked up and threw an empty beer can.

I dont read comments on Youtube any more. They're all made by advanced 6 year olds or really dumb 12 year olds.

Of course nothing is racist if he says it. He really is the messiah!!

All you mentioned are 10 times the price of most wines white females drink. 2 Buck Chuck & the 5 liter shit in a box come to mind. What's your point? Oh that's right, you don't have one.

LOL at "We've been looking forward to this day!". Really? Saw a commercial 2 weeks ago about an 8-piece chicken meal for $4.99 and I'll bet the anticipation was almost too much to handle.

 

[buck]

I am sure they all went home and had some chicken tetrazzini.

Up here in Canada you can get a drumstick and a thigh from Popeye's for C$2.50+tax on Tuesdays. Used to be Poverty Tuesday for movie theatres and I guess KFC caught on to that and started offering a thigh and a drumstick for 2 bux and Popeye's followed suit. Price has gone up to 2.50 of course.

 

[Scarpozzi]

You all need to get a grip. I'm sure if you went to a restaurant with stereotypical white food and were told they were out, you'd be pissed too.

I've never heard of starbucks running out of coffee because they always sell bags of it retail they could use in a pinch. But what if they ran out of cream and everyone had to drink their coffee....umm....ya know....without cream in it.

Ok, they brought up themselves how they knew some people might take offense to this story. it's obvious that white people did go to that Popeyes they just didn't talk to them. If they were worried about how people would preceive the story, how fucking hard would it have been to throw in a interview of Bob & Becky who were there to get chicken and upset there was no more. The fact they knew it would catch flack should indicate they would be smart enough to fix the situation. It means nothing to you because you're not black, the stereotype is stupid and I don't even know why people are so amused by it. But come tomorrow a lot of black people are going to get fucked with by white people with the "yoe want some chicken dawg!" and shit like that. This story is deeper than Fried Chicken, it touches on a problem in America with perceptions of others. And one that happens to lead to black people getting mocked by white people who have this image in their head of a Sambo with big lips shucking and jiving with Fried Chicken grease all over their lips.

:laugh:

this is not true? hmm i will have to rethink my view of black people it seems.

considering I could get MD 20/20 for $3 a bottle in college I don't think you can find anything cheaper really

Dayum... look at that booty! :laugh:

 

[FelixDeCat]

The strange thing is I went to get a free piece of grilled greasy chicken from KFC yesterday. I was in the drive through for 13 minutes waiting for my free chicken, all the while hoping they didnt run out.

The chicken was good but too greasy. Ill stick with original recipe, thank you very much.

Only in Rochester...I love this city.

the only choices here are KFC and Mary Brown's.

We used to have Church's through Harvey's, but they stopped doing it. It was the best chicken and a great bargain, too.

lol I have to say I am white but I went there for lunch here in Tampa when they had this special......it was freaking packed inside and out so I just went to subway
