Overwhelming Response to Oprah's Downloadable Free Meal Coupons Leaves KFC In A Tight Spot

May 8, 2009 - Hit by a tidal wave of customers who were promised a free meal from KFC by Oprah, KFC found themselves unprepared to meet the demand.

Oprah, who has sponsored many free giveaways for viewers in the past, announced her sponsorship of a downloadable coupon available for 24 hours on Oprah.com that entitled the customer to one free meal at KFC consisting of two pieces of the new grilled chicken, two side orders, and a biscuit.

On May 19, 2009, the Kentucky Fried Chicken Corporation was given an opportunity to promote our new Grilled Chicken line. We were delighted to find that thousands were happy to oblige by checking Oprah’s website for the coupon and come to our stores for the free chicken. Sadly we didn’t expect the outcome of the free chicken coupon and many of our stores had to temporarily close.

Purpose: I want to give those who have a background in art or a love for art the ability to feel inspired to create and see it everywhere. Hopefully after reading this, someone who loves art and can easily imagine art will want to fill their apartment/living space with as much art as possible. The purpose of these instructions is to help those who can find ways of using everything as art do so.

How to Create a Focal Piece of Art (for the creative challenged)

lrg3821 — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 05:30:18 +0000

Purpose: My motivation in this topic stems from my love of art. My apartment is covered with art that I have done, ranging from murals on my walls to painted T-shirts pinned up in the hallway. People are always asking me ‘how do you do that?’ I decided that I wanted to make a set of instructions for those who are slightly challenged when it comes to creativity. I am hoping that after my audience experiences these instructions, they will be inspired to create something for their living space and will feel less stuck when it comes to expressing their creative sides.
