Burger King Finds Out That "Happy Kristallnacht" is Not a Thing

KFC has apologized after using the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht to promote fried chicken and cheese.

On Wednesday, KFC Germany sent out a message on its app urging customers to "commemorate Kristallnacht" and "treat themselves to more tender cheese with crispy chicken," according to multiple screenshots shared on Twitter

Look for their upcoming promotions for the anniversaries of the Mountain Meadows and Wounded Knee massacres.

Who (and how many) got fired? I'd love to see KFC/YUM publicly call 'em out for their stupidity.

I'm curious about that, as well.

Be doing the world a favor if Burger King, KFC's windows were smashed out, the shops looted, buildings burned.

I don’t disagree. The BK here is so bad that, during the peak of the pandemic, when the drive-thru lines at Wendy’s, DD, and McD’s were going out to the street, BK was nearly empty.

I suspect that it’s a money-laundry.

This is an example of automation at work.

Feed your posting bot a list of all official holidays on the local calendar and tell it to make a "Happy $LOCAL_HOLIDAY" post.

That's a reasonable explanation. Maybe they'll fix it by Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Classic case.

Simple code to use calendar events as triggers for campaigns.
Problem whats in the calendar?

I can see a lots of possibles that would be embarrassing.

Oops!
