Hm, I don't think that was particularly bad. Maybe it could have been worded slightly better, but over all, I think it was a good sales tactic. It's the stupid people paying attention to facebook while there's an emergency... we can do without them thanks.

Those critical view toward KFC are from jealous business people that didn't think of it first.
