quote:

KFC has apologised after sending a promotional message to customers in Germany, urging them to commemorate Kristallnacht with cheesy chicken.

The Nazi-led series of attacks in the country in 1938 left more than 90 people dead, and destroyed Jewish-owned businesses and places of worship.

It is widely seen as the beginning of the Holocaust.

The message, heavily criticised for its insensitivity, was later blamed on "an error in our system".

The fast food chain sent an app alert on Wednesday, saying: "It's memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!"

Around an hour later another message was sent with an apology, according to the Bild newspaper.

"We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error," the message is reported to have said.

looks like KFC Germany did not see this one coming!!

If to live in this style is to be eccentric, it must be confessed that there is something good in eccentricity.

I live in Germany. But I went to KFC on the 8th instead - if only I knew there'd be a promotion the next day. But cheesy chicken isn't even kosher.

Do you Americans have a holiday to celebrate the North winning the Civil War? If so, how about a TV ad with Colonel Sanders (played by Gilbert Gottfried's corpse) spruiking like "Don't be a slave to the stove this holiday!", and "It's a cotton pickin' tasty deal!"

We have Juneteenth which celebrates the end of slavery which was made a federal holiday................................. last year.

It made a lot of white people mad.

Um actually I think they were mad that a national fast food chain was suggesting they celebrate a low point in their nations history and one of the first acts carried out by the Nazis to exterminate the Jewish :actually:

I was taking about Juneteenth, Mr Worth, and after reading Mr Hairytaint’s op-ed in the latest issue of the newsletter I’m beginning to suspect his concerns about your cognitive decline may be valid.

If you haven’t watched the Gracie’s Corner Juneteenth video with your toddler you’re doing them and yourself a disservice.
