Ooooh, What happened to the KFC thread?

What happened?

Was here, then went for me dinner and then disappeared.

Looked like it was heading for some racially abusive posts when I logged off.

Any gossip?

    Must have been bad. They usually just dump the bad posts. I assume it got out of hand!

    Should think it went the way of most threads like it, people couldn't talk about the topic without getting racist..
    There is a race of men that don't fit in; A race that can't stand still;
    So they break the hearts of kith and kin, and roam the world at will.

    Someone spoiled it by posting a racist comment, there's always one isn't there :)

    For some reason the mods here seem to be unable to delete posts within a thread so just zap the whole thing.

    Either that or they are very lazy. (Or overworked!)

    More like the heavy hand of KFC has come down on MSE. You can't fail to notice the number of threads that 'vanish' that are huge corporations being given 'bad press'. If it were a smaller concern getting bad stick, they couldn't give a sh*te. NOT a coincidence.

    What was the thread title again? Should still be in google cache.

    And I suddenly fancy some KFC gravy!
    I'm not bad at golf, I just get better value for money when I take more shots!

    Why was it bad press for KFC ? it is far more likely that the thread turned into a racist attack.
    It was going that way when I last posted.

    I doubt KFC would kick off about a thread that was discussing the fact they now sell Halal Chicken. I suspect that the mods took exception to iratereg's racist language, then paniced and deleted the whole thread. I suspect that he has been banned now.

    I think it's the racism angle (or just the bad tempered arguments).

    Every so often a thread disappears and it usually seems to be one where the arguments are getting very heated.

    I'm not sure why they don't just delete the offending messages.
