Oprah’s Kentucky Fried Goof

by Charles on May 17, 2009

800px-galina_gdfl60Sean Croxton, owner of Underground Wellness, fitness trainer, health guru and and radio show host, launches a blistering YouTube attack on Oprah Winfrey and KFC for their recent free chicken escapade.

In fact, Sean is not the only person who is angry. Oprah, has caused a LOT of anger out there ranging from animal rights activists here to a civil rights era-style protest here; a letter to the editor writer who was told by a KFC clerk that the reason Oprah was giving away the free coupons was to promote the company since she was a major stockholder, here and, well, this whole thing has just really turned into an “Oprah-size debacle”, here.

But Sean’s anger has to do with some real health related issues. A selection of of his choice words in the video:

“Oprah has earned our trust to the point that we will listen to her diet and health information even when she can’t keep her own weight in check.”

“Oprah must have really ‘unthunk’ when she decided to run this campaign.”

“KFC doesn’t want you to think at all. First of all, KFC, you will always be Kentucky Fried Chicken.  You will always be fast food, you will always serve people sick chickens and you know darn well you cannot get health a sick animal.”

“KFC doesn’t think you will go their site and actually look at the ingredients of this crap they are trying to give away for free;  and it should be given away for free because nobody should pay money for this stuff and I am going to tell you why in a second.”

And these are just in the first two and half minutes! Want to watch the video? Grab a nice cool glass of raw milk and hit the play button:

Here is an interesting update on Oprah’s goof. A California KFC franchisee is calling the Oprah coupon a fiasco. He says “I’m still waiting for heads to roll.” The news story from today’s Orange County (CA) Register is here:
