The EDL have spent the last couple of years trying to raise the awareness of the creeping Islamisation of Britain through Islamic. One of the principal vehicles for Islamisation is the pushing of halal foods onto an unsuspecting and unknowing British populace. A furore arose when it was revealed that much meat was being passed to the general public without their knowledge or consent. In the wake of these revelations, many supermarkets began to label meat as halal or non-halal. Many chain restaurants are also passing off halal meat to the general public without really advertising the fact. Nando’s, for...

Is Obama abandoning his bid for a second term in the White House and is giving Colonel Sanders a run for his money by opening a chain of fried chicken joints? Now that's change you can't really believe in. But in Beijing, China, a restaurant is actually calling itself OFC with a logo that looks alarmingly like the President dressed in the colonel's clothes.

In an ever-growing number of states, if you crave a taco or fried chicken from a fast-food restaurant, you can pay for it with food stamps. Food stamps - known more formally as the USDA’s Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program - have been in use for grocery staples, such as bread and milk, since 1934, but now, for the first time, they can be used for fast food in four states across the country. The number of businesses – including convenience and discount stores, gas stations and pharmacies – that have been approved to accept food stamps has increased by a...

The ever-controversial musician Morrissey is once again being controversial, this time for saying that the recent terrorist attacks in Norway, which killed 76 people, aren’t as bad as what fast food companies do. At a recent concert in Warsaw, Poland, the former Smiths frontman reportedly said, “We all live in a murderous world, as the events in Norway have shown, with 97 [sic] dead.” He then added: “Though that is nothing compared to what happens in McDonald’s and Kentucky Fried [expletive] every day.” The vegan and animal rights activist then segued into a performance of “Meat is Murder.”

We just had Popeyes for dinner. There was a lively discussion regarding it compared to KFC. I'd like your thoughts. I say you can't beat the red beans and rice though.

At first glance it could be the latest scheme by the White House to boost the President's flagging poll ratings. A confident Barack Obama is seen rousing a flag waving crowd as cheering supporters wave banners marked with his infectious election-time mantra - change. But after a few seconds it becomes clear this is no desperate political gamble. It's an ad from KFC China, which used an Obama look-alike to sell a new fried fish sandwich. In the commercial- which has since been pulled from Chinese TV screens- the 'faux-bama' calls for change. 'Change, not only for your mom, but...

A worker at a KFC restaurant in Sydney has been suspended after he was filmed screaming vicious insults and threatening to attack a customer. The violent outburst happened at a Halal-friendly KFC in Punchbowl on December 26, allegedly after a customer became angry after being refused bacon on their burger. The Punchbowl restaurant does not serve bacon or pork in accordance with Islamic law, and one employee can be heard saying "we don't have bacon" before the other begins yelling. "Don't record me bitch!" he screams as he approaches the counter. "Don't f---ing record me!" The employee continues to yell...

<p>Yum envisions 1,200 KFC restaurants in Africa by 2014, twice its current number. Above, a KFC in Egypt.</p> <p>After spending two decades introducing fried chicken and pizza to Chinese consumers, Yum Brands Inc. now sees Africa as its next international jewel.</p>

The suits at KFC — the restaurant chain that used to be called, proudly, Kentucky Fried Chicken — have claimed that their 2009 decision to emphasize grilled chicken and sandwiches was based on “extensive consumer research.” I don’t find their assertion credible. I think they were trying to adjust the company’s direction and marketing strategy to their perception of the prevailing political and social attitudes about obesity. I don’t think the execs carefully considered how their consumers would react, particularly to ad campaigns that explicitly repudiated the fried-chicken brand of KFC. I’m not alone in drawing these conclusions. KFC franchisees...

Denmark's KFC website has been targeted by Islamist hackers. The hackers decided to gain access to the fast food site and post an educational video about their religion on the page. They also left instructions to the Danish government to introduce a new law to punish people who publicly insult religion. The hackers implied in their demands that if the law is not introduced, the hacking of Danish websites will continue.

KFC Bashed, Promotes Komen as Breast Cancer Group Links to Abortion Washington, DC -- Kentucky Fried Chicken has started a new fundraising campaign to bring in money from the sales of pink buckets of chicken to benefit the Komen for the Cure breast cancer foundation. But pro-life groups are up in arms because Komen denies the abortion-breast cancer link and donates to Planned Parenthood. http://Lifenews.com/nat6292.html

KFC sure is flipping vegetarians the bird. The fried chicken franchise is rolling out a new "sandwich" with no bread - and extra meat. The "Double Down" is two fried filets that cradle two pieces of bacon, two slices of Monterey Jack and pepper jack cheese and a squish of Colonel's Sauce. Feeling healthy? Go for the grilled chicken version instead. KFC initially tested the Double Down in Nebraska and Rhode Island and will fatten up menus nationwide with its new addition on April 12. The chain is literally counting down the seconds until the supersandwich goes on sale on...

FINGS are not lickin' good for KFC in their bid to sell fried chicken to Islamic customers. They're now being threatened with a boycott by both Muslims AND non-Muslims. Britain's second biggest fast food chain hoped to woo the Islamic market by opening 86 trial outlets selling halal-only meat - that's from animals slaughtered under strict religious guidelines. But KFC's target diners insist the chickens are not being killed in the right way and say they will stay away.

A diner was left fuming after a KFC restaurant took his favourite meal off the menu because it breached their new halal regulations. Alan Phillips was told he would have to travel five miles to another branch if he wanted the Big Daddy, a chicken burger, topped with bacon, cheese and salad. The branch, in Burton-on-Trent, Staffordshire, is one of 86 KFC restaurants which is running trials of a scheme where they sell nothing other than halal meat. The company has taken the burger off the menu because Islamic dietary law forbids Muslims to eat anything which has been prepared...

BEREA, Ky., - A Kentucky KFC is offing free chicken for the return of a $1,200 bronze bust of KFC founder Colonel Sanders stolen from in front of the fast-food eatery. Rhonda Hall, manager of the KFC in Berea, said authorities told them four young men were spotted fleeing the scene in a silver passenger car, WLKY-TV, Louisville, Ky., reported Monday. "It's like, this big, his whole head. It's really detailed, all the features and everything. Some employees were in the dining room when four young guys came in," Hall said. "When she came back to the dining area, it...

INDIANAPOLIS -- An animal rights group figures if KFC can use fire extinguishers and hydrants to promote its chicken in Indianapolis, it should be able to denounce cruelty to the birds on city fire trucks. People for the Ethical Treatment for Animals offered to donate $7,500 in a letter to Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard in return for advertising space on the vehicles, after the fast-food chain announced a deal this week to pay for fire extinguishers and smoke detectors in the city in exchange for advertising on them. The ad proposed by PETA shows a plucked and scalded chicken alongside...

KFC Australia has pulled an ad that sparked cries of racism around the globe. The fast food chicken joint became embroiled in controversy after a commercial showing a lone white Australian man surrounded by a raucous crowd of black West Indies supporters at a cricket match. He asks “Need a tip when you’re stuck in an awkward situation?” and proceeds to share a bucket of fried chicken with the crowd. In a statement on its Web site, the company called its "Cricket Survival" ad campaign "tongue-in-cheek," but said after being "made aware that a KFC commercial being shown on Australian...

AN ad by KFC Australia showing a man giving fried chicken to West Indies fans has been labelled racist in the US. In the "cricket survival guide" ad, an Australian fan named Mick asks viewers "Need a tip when you're stuck in an awkward situation?" after being surrounded by cheering West Indies fans. He then shares a bucket of KFC chicken with fans around him to calm the situation. The video has caused a huge stir in the US after it was posted on YouTube. The ad has been seen by some in the US as a reference to racial...

UNITED NATIONS – The embarrassing infiltration into the headquarters of the United Nations – to the very podium where President Obama spoke – by an actor portraying KFC founder "Colonel" Harland Sanders has sparked an "investigation." The incident first was reported by WND on Oct. 24, and it continues to cause problems for Ban Ki-moon's U.N. The situation developed when Robert Thompson, an actor hired by KFC parent Yum Brands Inc., was spearheading a new campaign to promote KFC grilled chicken.

UNITED NATIONS -- Red-faced United Nations officials on Monday admitted to a major security lapse after a UN guard helped Kentucky Fried Chicken's "Colonel Sanders" gain access to restricted areas. The guard escorted the white-suited intruder past security barriers, where he got a handshake from the UN General Assembly president, Dr. Ali A. Treki of Libya. The faux fast food chain founder also posed for a picture beneath the assembly's giant UN logo, which overlooks the spot where world leaders address their international counterparts. "It should not have happened -- that I will stress, and very strongly," said Michele Montas,...

LOL! UN humiliated by a Colonel Sanders lookalike. Dumba$$es! :)

"Is KFC trying to make amends for the Double Down, its infamous sandwich made with chicken patties instead of bread? The chicken chain is taking a break from inventing indulgent new foods to fight hunger, starting next Tuesday. Over the next few weeks, KFC will temporarily close more than 15,000 locations during the lunch rush and convert them into "World Hunger Relief Kitchens." The kitchens will serve free grilled chicken meals to needy families while also raising awareness with charitable food drives and car washes at the shuttered stores. Fighting hunger is a pet cause of parent company Yum Brands,...

This is enough to test anyone’s cholesterol meds. After the big launch of their grilled chicken offering healthy alternatives, KFC has created the Double Down sandwich for those with a death wish. The Double down consist of two Original recipe fried-chicken fillets that replace the bread and in between these crispy pieces of chicken is bacon, Swiss and pepper-Jack cheese and the colonel’s sauce. When did the colonel get a sauce? Should we be glad there are no wasted calories on commercial grade pasty white bread? So who here wants to eat one of these? They are being test marketed...

We were dubious when we first read that Kentucky Fried Chicken was coming out with a new sandwich that does away with the bread in favor of two fried fillets. And that the "sandwich" part of the sandwich involved was made of cheese, something called Colonel's sauce .. and bacon? Could that possibly be true?

This is perhaps man's greatest achievement or evidence of our civilization's impending doom. Maybe it's both. Meet the KFC "double down." Although no mention of it is made on KFC.com and we have never seen an ad for it ourselves, we are being lead to believe that it is real by Foodgeekery.com. They have crappy cell phone camera footage of a commercial (from Omaha, apparently) for the mysterious beast, as well as photographic evidence of it in the wild. The sandwich consists of two fried chicken fillets wrapped around bacon, cheese and Colonel's sauce. It apparently tastes like you think...

SURPRISE, Ariz. - Blame it on the honey mustard. Police say it all started when a disgruntled customer didn't get condiments with her Kentucky Fried Chicken order. Police arrested a 26-year-old woman who they say tried to run over a KFC employee, all because the employee failed to provide condiments with her meal. Surprise Police say that Monique Aguet was going through a KFC drive thru near Bell and Reems Roads Wednesday night when the argument began. The argument escalated when Aguet went inside the store. When she was ordered to leave the building, a KFC employee followed her out...

This is video of CNN's John Roberts interviewing Michael Jackson's personal chef who was in the house the day he died. She said she was shocked at the possibility that Jackson's doctor may have used her name to get drugs for Jackson. Roberts asked the chef what kind of foods Jackson ate. She said he ate organic food during the week, but that he ate "comfort foods" on Saturday, and KFC on Sundays. She said she would "actually see the buckets." This runs counter to reports that Jackson was a strict vegetarian....(Watch Video)

Fast food chain KFC is trialling halal meat in certain restaurants, but some Muslims say it hasn't been killed in the correct Islamic way. Catrin Nye asks when is halal meat not halal meat? It may claim its food is "finger lickin' good", but until recently strict Muslims might have seen a problem with it. Now fast food chain Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) is trialling halal meat - meaning it has been killed in accordance with Islamic dietary laws - in eight of its UK restaurants. But the trial has sparked a debate over what is and what isn't halal,...

Oprah Winfrey's decision to put her name on KFC's online coupon promotion turned quickly into a "PR nightmare," as described by QSRweb, which covers the quick-service restaurant industry. Gawker spread a rumor that there were "riots" breaking out on Wednesday at a Midtown Manhattan KFC outlet. There weren't, but there were a lot of angry people who thought they would get a free two-piece Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal but didn't because the store had run out. The coupons were promoted both on The Oprah Winfrey Show and at Oprah.com. KFC President Roger Eaton had to write a note of apology...

Barely six months after running a special about the ‘dark side of chicken factory farming’, Oprah has teamed with KFC to give a free two-piece grilled chicken meal to every family in America. Lucky us. The free meal coupons were offered at Oprah.com yesterday. The October 2008 show focused on contrasting the practices at conventional factory farms with those at organic, free-range farms – and earned her PETA’s 2008 ‘Person of the Year’. From Ecorazzi: Obviously, this is going to come as a shock to PETA — who is in the middle of a renewed campaign urging KFC to change...

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have long been fiercely opposed to KFC. PETA even operates a website called "KentuckyFriedCruelty":PETA is also the group that made Oprah Winfrey their "Person of the Year" in 2008 for her shows highlighting animal cruelty. Now, Oprah's pushing KFC coupons on her website: I'm as confused and suspicious as Pamela Anderson's kid during the balloon toss game at the cosmetic surgeon's mother/daughter picnic.

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...

LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Customers at a New York City KFC hoping to redeem coupons for a free meal were disgruntled when the fast-food restaurant ran out of its new grilled chicken, but Internet rumors of a riot were unfounded, a Kentucky Fried Chicken spokeswoman said Wednesday. "Some customers were upset because they couldn't get their chicken, but there was no riot," said Laurie Schalow. Schalow said the Manhattan restaurant on East 42nd Street plans to begin honoring the coupons again Thursday after it resupplies the kitchen. The coupons were available on Oprah.com for 24 hours beginning Tuesday after Oprah announced...

TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — PETA is taking on what it describes as a new affront to animals: NASCAR fans doing the chicken dance. People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals asked Guinness World Records Inc. on Monday to ignore an attempt to set a world record for the largest group chicken dance at the Talladega Superspeedway, site of the Aaron's 499 race on Sunday. The reason? KFC is the sponsor of the record attempt, and the animal rights group says the fast-food company is cruel to chickens. A KFC spokesman defended the company's treatment of animals and said it hoped...

Kentucky Fried Chicken has been making a tour of America's big cities trying to get those towns to allow them, KFC, to fill the many thousands of potholes pockmarking our roads left over from this past harsh winter. But it isn't just community spirit motivating the fast food, fried chicken giant. They want to spray paint KFC logos on top of every pothole they pay to fill. It's all a matter of advertising. But I say, so what? Let them get their advertising. If they want to kick their ad money into a mutually beneficial arrangement with the cities, so...

Why did the fried-chicken maker cross the road? To fill the potholes, of course. The folks at K[entucky] F[ried] C[hicken] recently cooked up an appetizing offer for cash-strapped cities: The restaurant chain will fix crater-ridden streets for free if they're allowed to brand repairs with a chalked-on message saying that the road has been "Re-Freshed by KFC." Company president Roger Eaton put the deal on the table last week in an open letter to America's mayors. KFC intends to select four towns to receive "a smooth drive that is fit for a colonel." KFC started the project in its hometown...

A statue of Kentucky Fried Chicken founder Colonel Sanders was recovered Tuesday and Wednesday from a river in Osaka, 24 years after frenzied Hanshin Tigers fans threw the statue into the river when the baseball team won the Central League championship. Divers found the upper half of the life-sized statue of the U.S. founder of the fried chicken restaurant chain Tuesday and the lower half Wednesday from Dotombori River during a riverside construction work. (snip) Tigers fans tossed the statue into the river because they thought it resembled Randy Bass

ANDERSON, Calif. — Three employees of a Kentucky Fried Chicken have been suspended for bathing in a deep sink used to clean dishes. The prank was discovered after one of the young women posted photos on a social networking site of the trio posing and cavorting in the steaming water in their underwear and swimwear.

The Syracuse Animal Rights Organization held a public protest against Syracuse University's support of KFC Corp. Monday afternoon. The protest focused on improving KFC's treatment of chickens and removing the restaurant chain's presence on campus. Student representatives and community volunteers of the group, including one individual dressed as a bright yellow bird, demonstrated outside Kimmel Hall, home to a campus KFC. Members of SARO colored the sidewalk with chalk messages against KFC and collected student signatures and e-mail addresses to form a petition against the restaurant. "We are asking (KFC) to adopt some minimum animal welfare guidelines that they so...

Talk about taking a bite out of crime! For two years, a Brooklyn thug sat in an Oregon jail awaiting trial for a coldblooded murder, and all the fat felon could think about was food - a bucket of greasy chicken, a mouthful of lasagna, a slice of pizza. So when prosecutors offered to buy Tremayne Durham, 36, a fast-food buffet in exchange for a guilty plea that would land him behind bars, likely for the rest of his life, he bit right in. The 275-pound convicted rapist admitted he had shot a man to death over a failed business...

Despite its health-crazy reputation, parts of Los Angeles are plagued by obesity rates that rival any city in America. Now, the city may join a growing roster of local governments aiming to put their residents on diets by cracking down on the fast-food industry, says the Wall Street Journal. The Los Angeles city council is considering legislation that would ban new fast-food restaurants like McDonald's and KFC from opening in a 32-square-mile chunk of the city. The targeted area is already home to some 400 fast-food restaurants, possibly contributing to high obesity rates there -- 30 percent of adults, compared...
