So Oprah's got this whole 'free meal at KFC' promo going.
So popular the coupon-hosts servers are having trouble keeping up with the load...

However, it's not as simple as go to site, download coupon....
YOU NEED TO INSTALL A 'COUPON PRINTER' to print the coupon...

Really stupid.
According to some news articles (check google news) people who can't print the coupons (for various reasons) are going to KFC locations and demanding the free meal while refusing to leave.

If you go the through the website, really amusing things come up in the FAQ, like information on how the service doesn't work with webTV.

KFCE... is that a new lightweight Qt-based desktop environment?

XD That's what I thought when I first saw the thread title. Kfce. KDE and Xfce combined.

You can use the user agent switcher firefox plugin to print the coupon.

Let's decide by pronunciation. kah-zoo-boon-too or zoo-kah-boon-too. Hmm...

Oprah is stumping for KFC? Oh, I could say something. I could sooooo say something, but I'll be nice today.

And yes, I thought the same thing when I read "KFCE". Who knew the Colonel was into desktop environments? ;)

I would have sworn this thread was going to be something about XFCE.

Strangely enough, I didn't get that message, nor the one about the coupon printer. Firefox in Ubuntu just pushed me on through and gave me a link to a PDF file.
