Good job, Kentucky Fried Chicken, good job. You can't make this up. The New York Times reported:
KFC’s German branch has apologized for seeming to encourage its customers to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht — the notorious Nazi pogrom against Jews — by eating chicken, saying that a promotional message was sent in error as a result of an automated push notification.
The pogrom that began on Nov. 9, 1938, is known as the night of broken glass, and is widely commemorated as the start of the Holocaust. It was a coordinated assault on German Jews and their homes, businesses and synagogues.
On Wednesday, KFC Germany sent a message to users of its app with the title “Anniversary of the Reich’s pogrom night,” according to reports in the German news media and screen shots of the promotion that circulated widely on Twitter. The message invited customers to enjoy “tender cheese with crispy chicken.”

That’s why I eat at Popeyes.
I’m really started to suspect that you are one of the tribe. Nobody honestly loves them as much as you seem to love them… except the “chosen” themselves.
I wonder if you say sieg heil at the drive through you get a free cookie?
Idiots? Sounds pretty based and redpilled to me.
Perhaps you should rethink your life, cuckfish.
McDonald's had a similar program years back, I seem to recall, employing the catchphrase "Over 6 million served." I was, of course, deeply offended and quite literally shaking with rage over that one.
My bet is this was not a mistake. Certainly I do not blame KFC, but anti-Semitism is growing and some employee leaning that way thought it would be funny. Well it isn't and it will never be to people of good will and maturity!
Their correction wasn't much better...
"In a statement issued to Newsweek magazine, KFC Germany blamed the message on a bot. The fast food chain said the 'automated push notification' was "linked to calendars that include national observances".
This is why history is important; and, it repeats itself in a body of ignorance.
