Oprah + Michelle

The execution of that ponytail, how dreadful. But I digress.

Oprah’s free KFC grilled chicken coupons sparked a sit in inside the KFC on 42nd Street between Madison and Park in New York City today. This can’t be life. An eyewitness tells Gothamist:

I went over to our nearest KFC a few minutes ago . . . and chaos ensued. Despite the very visible grilled chicken behind the register, the manager told everyone with coupons to leave and that the promotion was over for the day. The people there are currently holding a sit-in and refusing to leave until they get their free chicken…or the cops are called. Racial epithets were being spewed, people who actually wanted to pay for chicken were facing a potential beatdown, and the manager ran from the screaming horde. Oprah, what have ye wrought?
