KFC, Happy Black People and False Advertising

I haven't posted in a few weeks but it would come as no surprise that fried chicken would be enough for me to break my silence. Like most Black Americans I do love me some fried chicken...so much so that sometimes it makes me want to dance! As you can guess I've had my share of questions and conversations about KFC and their "happy" fried chicken spot (here). Black Americans are wondering "what's wrong with Aussies" and Aussies are saying "stop being so damn sensitive". But, I'm not spending my 1st post of the New Year revisiting that debate. Please refer to my "Hey Hey Saturday" post here for my comments on race & Oz. Instead I want to address something much more important - KFC's use of false advertising and what I intend to do about it.
