So, did you get your free chicken?
Update: KFC offers rain check. Read more here
Maybe Wall Street should team up with Oprah.
A union with ‘O’ seemingly worked out for KFC.
Kentucky Fried Chicken teamed with Oprah to deliver coupons for free samples of Kentucky Fried Chicken’s new Kentucky Grilled Chicken the masses at participating locations.
The “Oprah Winfrey Show Kentucky Grilled Chicken Two-piece Meal Coupon” was available Tuesday and Wednesday.
See prior Seen and Overheard item here.
All indications are that KFC and Oprah touched wonder rings and created magic.
People were really, really, really into the free chicken thing.
According to internet buzz, the Louisville chain’s grilled chicken website was overwhelmed by downloads, and its stores ran out of free chicken.
Some coupon holders were turned away.
The coupon is redeemable at participating KFC locations through May 19, excluding Sunday, May 10.
Here’s a question for you, did you get your free bird?

Another naughty photo, should Miss California lose her crown?
And the Miss California USA plot thickens.
Just days after Carrie Prejean swore up and down that she had appeared in only one racy photo, a second image of the controversial beauty queen in next to nothing has emerged on the gossip site theDirty.com.
The website said it has more.
Prejean drew both boos and applause April 19 when she spoke against same-sex marriage at the Miss USA pageant.
Prejean, who finished the pageant runner-up to Miss USA, has since become a poster child for the National Organization for Marriage.
The Miss California USA pageant said earlier this week that Prejean ran afoul of several sections of the 12-page contract all prospective contestants were required to sign before competing, the Associated Press reported.
For starters, contestants are not suppose to make personal appearances, give interviews or making commercials without permission from pageant officials.
Prejean has made televised appearances at her San Diego church and on behalf of the National Organization for Marriage, a group opposed to same-sex marriage.
Contestants are also told to indicate if they acted “in accordance with the highest ethical and moral standards.” As an example, the contract asks if participants have ever been photographed nude or partially nude.
Oops!
Pageant officials met earlier this week with Donald Trump’s representatives to consider if Prejean should be dethroned.
The Donald owns the international pageant.
For her part, Prejean has said she was 17-year-old when she modeled for the first photo.
She objected to its release as an attempt to belittle her religious faith: “I am a Christian, and I am a model. Models pose for pictures, including lingerie and swimwear photos,” the AP said.
What do you think? Should the crown be taken a way from Prejean. Comment below.
