It looks like KFC didn't know what they were getting into allowing <a href="http://www.oprah.com/article/oprahshow/20090430-tows-kfc-coupon-download">Oprah to put a coupon for a free 2piece of KFCs new grilled chicken</a>. </p><p>Several KFC restaurants are now turning people away at the door when they show up with the KFC coupon for the free bird. After one person in my office found out about the free chicken, the word quickly spread around the office. Before long, everyone was downloading the free chicken coupon. After speaking to one of my co-workers, she reported that she stood in a line about 10 deep and everyone had a coupon trying to get the chicken. Some even reported back that KFC started turning people away at the door which caused people to become irate. </p><p>Surprisingly (or not) by Friday people started to report that KFC was no longer taking the coupon at the restaurant. They were giving people vouchers that they had to mail in and redeem at a later date. </p><p>So KFC, the next time you decide to offer free chicken, you might want to think about the logistics of it a little better. Expecially if you want to post it on Oprahs web site. </p><p><a href="http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=7527626&amp;page=1">http://abcnews.go.com/Business/story?id=7527626&amp;page=1</a></p></div>

&lt;div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;&lt;div&gt;After 10 years of me waiting the &lt;a href="http://www.trinityrivercorridor.com/"&gt;Trinity River project for Dallas&lt;/a&gt; is still not even close to being done and is still being hotly contested every step of the way. Its refreshing to hear that Fort Worth at least seems to have their shit together. Their vision for the Trinity River seems much more managable and is much less controversial than what Dallas is planning.
