- Bend your back, your nervous arm won't handle the stress.
- Keep your back straight, let your arm do the work.
- Pretend you're just playing catch.
- Just have fun.
- Don't choke.
- You are probably going to choke so make peace with it now

Jimmy Kimmel

or is this carrer Suidce

From the NY Daily News:

Tuesday afternoon, at the network’s annual presentation of its fall schedule to advertisers, Kimmel did a routine on the absurdity of selling shows that within a few months will mostly be cancelled.

As he has done in previous years, he made fun of the networks for the amusement of the people who keep those same networks in business.

As they have done in previous years, the advertisers laughed.

And then, Wednesday morning, guess what?

Network executives had to deal with the faux fallout from a New York Times blog that suggested Kimmel was lucky to still have a job after a screed like that.

The executives weren’t exactly laughing. Call it more like a loud sigh.

8 P.M. Hour

They have a contest for a event
feating Anthony Bourdain/Mario Batali event
at The Paramount Theater on May 30th

From Seattle Theaher groupe Web site
http://stgpresents.org

Anthony Bourdain and Mario Batali, alleged “bad boys of cuisine,” are not your typical celebrity chefs. Witness the two as they discuss the world of restaurants, chefs and cooking in what is sure to be a colorful evening of foodie banter. Joined in the mix to moderate the discussion is Seattle’s Luke Burbank, host of KIRO Radio’s “Too Beautiful to Live.”

Bourdain returns to Seattle after a sold out engagement last year at The Moore Theatre. Bourdain is as irreverent, opinionated and entertaining as always in The Nasty Bits, his book of essays derived in part from his popular television travelogue series, “No Reservations.” Bourdain is the author of seven books, including Kitchen Confidential and A Cook’s Tour.

Batali co-wrote A Culinary Road Trip to Spain with actress Gwyneth Paltrow. Now on PBS, the book comes to life as “Spain…On the Road Again” starring Batali, Paltrow, food writer Mark Bittman and actress Claudia Bassols.

James Harrison, White House Visit: "I Don't Want To Go"

From the Haffington Post via A.P.:

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison can't believe there's so much fuss being made about him skipping the Super Bowl champions' White House visit with President Barack Obama on Thursday.

Harrison will bypass the traditional ceremony, just as he did when the Steelers were honored by President George W. Bush at the White House in June 2006.

"Why is it a big issue now that I'm not going if it wasn't a big issue the last time?" Harrison said Tuesday after an offseason practice.

But there is a bigger exsussc behind it:

Kills rumor of the day:

NOT AWESOME

From NME:

The Kills' Alison Mosshart responds to Jack White brawl rumours

The Kills' frontwoman Alison Mosshart has issued a statement regarding tabloid rumours that she and Jack White recently engaged in a fist fight while drinking in a New York bar.

According to Mosshart, she and The White Stripes man, with whom she's collaborating in the new band The Dead Weather, did no such thing.

"I don't usually bother responding to ridiculous fabricated tabloid rumours, but this one is particularly grotesque," she said. "The stories circulating from a UK tabloid of a 'fist fight', or Jack punching me, or the two of us 'being at each others throats' are untrue.

"I'm just wrapping up a tour with The Kills and then I'll be back with The Dead Weather for the release of the album and a tour. It's a really great group of people to work with and I can't wait for everyone to hear the album."


Since it was debunk
it was AWESOME

by the way all the song that the kill play
on there sesstion last week are on this blog post
here
also there is a full post with interview here
it under the 9 PM hour.
Can a dog bowl start a fire? Test shows idea does hold water

NOT AWESOME

From the Seattle TImes:

A metal stand, pieces of wood and a glass bowl partially filled with water — fire danger on a sunny day?

Turns out, blaming a fire on a dog water bowl isn't as goofy as it sounds.

A Bellevue Fire Department investigator said earlier this week that he suspects a house fire started when a partially filled glass bowl, resting in a wire stand on the home's deck, concentrated the sun's rays like a magnifying glass.

There was nothing else in that area of the house — no smokers, no electrical devices — that could have caused the fire. The blaze last Sunday destroyed the deck, badly burned the adjacent kitchen — and left some people wondering if the investigator was serious.

"People were trying to guess as to whether or not he had lost his mind," joked Lt. Eric Keenan, the Fire Department's community liaison officer.

So Keenan grabbed his old college physics book and started working out the scenario on paper.

"I thought, 'You know what, I think he's got something.' "

playing out for the world to see Twitter, Facebook and Youtube

From boingboing.net:

Protests are taking place today in Guatemala City to demand justice for an attorney who was assassinated on Sunday, and who claimed in a posthumously released YouTube video taped before his death that if he were to die, it would be at the orders of Guatemalan president Álvaro Colom.

Quick background: The slain attorney, Rodrigo Rosenberg, represented a man who refused to take an assigment by Guatemala's president to serve on the board of a bank widely known as a money laundering hub and a shelter for narcotrafficking spoils. This whistleblower client of Rosenberg, Khalil Musa, was assassinated in March. On Sunday, after reportedly refusing to participate in the corruption and the coverup, Rosenberg himself was assassinated.

Flims to watch

Tetro

Director: Francis Ford Coppola

Wednesday, June 10th
Egyptian Theatre

Argentina proves an inviting canvas for Francis Ford Coppola's first original screenplay since 1974. Tetro focuses on an artistically gifted family fractured by an overbearingly successful father and several relocations. Recalling fond memories of his exiled older brother 'Tetro,” the ingenuous 17-year-old Bennie (Alden Ehrenreich) leaves New York in search of his sibling, but Tetro (Vincent Gallo) has dissociated himself and refuses to write. After being turned away by his brother, Bennie seeks refuge with Tetro's girlfriend Miranda (Maribel Verdú) in Buenos Aires' eclectic La Boca neighborhood and discovers unfinished writing projects in her house that explain the reasons for Tetro's ostracism. Bennie decides to pen the conclusion to one of the unfinished plays despite warnings from Miranda. Facing violent resistance from his brother, he submits the play to the famed critic 'Alone” (Carmen Maura), who selects it as a finalist for the most important literary prize in the country. Striking thematic parallels and Coppola's intimate direction seamlessly frame this semi-autobiographical drama.

Passing Strange

Tuesday, June 2nd
Kirkland Perfomance Center

Director: Spike Lee

Part rock concert, part memoir, part Broadway musical, Spike Lee's new documentary Passing Strange breaks conventions to tell its story of a young L.A. songwriter's international journey to self-discovery. A profound autobiographical treatise on black identity, told in both past and present time, it places itself more in line with the works of James Baldwin and Ralph Ellison than with traditional film. An amazing cinematic translation of Passing Strange, the Tony-award winning musical by singer-songwriter Stew (leader of L.A. band The Negro Problem), the film tells the story of the adult Stew and his younger self, the teenaged Youth. An aspiring musician, Youth strains against the complacency and bourgeois aspirations of his mother's middle-class life, eventually leaving Los Angeles for Europe in his quest for something he calls the real. Alternately melancholy and amazed, Stew watches and narrates as Youth fumbles his way to maturity on a European voyage that takes him to the liberations of Amsterdam and the post-punk cabarets of Berlin. One-upping the Broadway show, Lee doesn't just break down the fourth wall, he uses 14 cameras to place you into the onstage performance and immerse you in the backstage creative energy of the live show. Passing Strange is an amazing testimonial to two iconoclastic artists working at the top of their game.

Humpday

Sunday, June 7th
Egyptian Theatre

Director: Lynn Shelton

Settling into his marriage with Anna, Ben has a steady job and plans to start a family. But when his old college buddy Andrew shows up unannounced at 1:30 a.m., the two quickly fall back into their old competitive ways. A decade after college, they each see each other\'s lives very differently: Ben thinks Andrew has become an aimless ne\'er-do-well, and Andrew thinks Ben has become emasculated by married life. To save Ben from further domestication, Andrew takes him to a party at a sex-positive commune where booze and drugs abound. When talk at the party turns to a local weekly's amateur porn contest (based on a real competition sponsored by Seattle's "The Stranger") Andrew wants in. With neither man willing to back down from a challenge, they decide that the most groundbreaking porn two heterosexual dudes can make would be having sex together�on camera. It's beyond gay; it's an art project, they tell themselves. But how exactly do they do this? And who's going to tell Anna? Lynn Shelton has created a hilarious film about the complexities and contradictions of the male ego, mixing knowing satire with profound emotional discoveries, and culminating in one of the most uproariously uncomfortable finales in recent memory.

The Immaculate Conception of Little Dizzle

Saturday, May 23
SIFF Cinema

Sunday, May 24,
Egyptian Theatre

Director: David Russo

Local filmmaker David Russo's debut feature is truly a one-of-a-kind film experience. Simultaneously cynical and life-affirming, Russo's comedy manages to incorporate biochemical engineering, corporate chicanery, drug addiction and high-art pretension—all while maintaining an amiable, insouciant charm. After Dory is fired from his corporate job, he's forced to take a 'brown-collar” position cleaning office toilets with a pack of janitorial misfits. Accepting of his search for spiritual and human connection, the group quickly becomes his adoptive family. They make the most of their nights by helping themselves to whatever goodies are left behind by the daytime office staff. But when they unwittingly become the subject of a product-testing experiment by one of the companies in the building, they begin to experience some very unusual hallucinations and other side effects. These visuals provide a great platform for Russo's innovative visual design and animation skills, as well as those of Dutch animator Rosto. Little Dizzle is spiritual quest in sheep's clothing; a complex film of ideas disguised as a shaggy-dog comedy. Beneath its constant visual invention, the film creates a quirky, playful world which questions the lines between trash and treasure, and asks what one should try to hold onto in our increasingly disposable society, and what one should let go.

Morris: A Life With Bells On

Saturday, May 23
Sunday, May 24
SIFF Cinema

Director: Lucy Akhurst

For those who think the English folk dance Morris is just an innocent pub pastime involving hanky-waving and bearded men with staffs, you've never seen its politics-laden, ultra-competitive side. Under the auspices of the governing Morris Circle, dance troops throughout England compete against each other in cutthroat tournaments. Follow the fortunes of one such side, Millsham Morris, and its avant-garde leader Derecq Twist, in their pursuit for Morris perfection. In his Morris prime, Derecq is both a traditionalist and an innovator. One the one hand, he is preparing to perform the ultimate move in Morris Dance, the mystical and legendary Threeple Hammer Damson. And yet, on the other hand, he is pioneering an innovative, daringly freeform brand of the dance dubbed 'Extreme Morris,” drawing the ire of the more orthodox elements within the Morris dance community. But when Millsham Morris unveils their creation in competition, the Morris Circle bans Derecq from future competition. Devastated by the decision, Derecq embarks on a global odyssey through tragedy and triumph, which gravely tests his passion to Morris.

The Baby Formula

Tuesday, June 2nd
Egyptian Theatre

Friday, June 5th
Kirkland Perfomance Center

Saturday, June 6th
SIFF Cinema

Director: Alison Reid

The Baby Formula mixes cutting edge science, sexual politics, and a healthy dose of humor to concoct what may be the sleeper hit of the Festival. Lesbian couple Athena and Lilith want a biological child of their own so badly that they convince a scientist in a fertility lab to use an experimental scientific process to impregnate Athena with 'female sperm” created from Lilith's stem cells, but on one condition: the experiment must be kept secret. But when Lilith uses the same method to get pregnant behind Athena's back, and the parentage of Lilith's baby is then called into question, the couple is forced to divulge the truth of their experimental conceptions to their families. Full of humor and unexpected twists, the resulting family meeting erupts in a collision of differing views. Shot in an improvisational mockumentary style from the beginning through the final credits, Alison Reid's film benefits from serendipitous casting (both lead actresses were actually pregnant during shooting) and hilarious improvisational acting. Reid, a veteran stunt coordinator and performer, demonstrates her directing chops with a great ear for family interaction in this film that celebrates love, acceptance, and the gift of life in all its forms.

Also mention by Luke as a Must see at the SIFF

The Bear

Friday, June 12th
Triple Door

Director: Jean-Jaques Annaud

When a rockslide kills a mother bear, her cub Douce becomes an orphan in the threatening Canadian Rockies. Luckily, she encounters Bart, a full-grown male bear on the run from hunters after mauling their pack animals. Though the ill-tempered Bart initially rejects Douce's companionship, the cub wins his affection by licking Bart's gunshot wounds. Psychedelic mushroom trips and a rendezvous with Doc (the effeminate male bear who plays Bart's love interest) are woodland fun at its finest, but the invasive fear of being hunted drives The Bear forward. Staged with trained bears and filmed in the Italian Dolomites, Jean-Jacques Annaud's film seems like realism in drag as documentary. Yet it's this feeling that makes The Bear a magical discovery and a welcome departure from the ordinary wildlife exposé. Los Angeles duo No Age will add their musical interpretation to the film by performing original music during the screening. No Age's Randy Randall and Dean Allen Spunt garnered acclaim with their debut album Weirdo Rippers (2007) and, after signing with the Seattle-based label Sub Pop, released Nouns (2008) to similar critical success. As Douce and Bart sift through the maladies and joys of their precarious existence, so too does No Age's music filter raw sensation through art-punk chaos.


All Tomorrow's Parties

Tuesday, May 26th
Egyptian Theatre

Thursday, May 28
Neptune Theatre

Director: All Tomorrow's People, Jonathan Caouette

On the eve of its tenth anniversary, the All Tomorrow's Parties music festival is an ingenious testament to alternative music, communal living, and iconoclastic creativity. Founded by Belle & Sebastian's Barry Hogan in 1999 as an alternative to larger, more corporate festivals, ATP is a sponsorship-free festival where the organizers, artists, and fans all stay in the same chalet-style housing complex. Every year the event is curated by a specific artist or band, essentially making each festival a concert as ultimate mix tape. This unique concept is mirrored in All Tomorrow's Parties' visual approach. The film is created from found or contributed footage from over 200 filmmakers, fans, and musicians who've attended the British All Tomorrow's Parties festival over its history. With interviews and footage of more than 30 bands (ranging from Nick Cave to Animal Collective and from Portishead to Grizzly Bear), this post-punk DIY bricolage uses material filmed in a multitude of formats, including Super8, camcorder, and mobile-phone material. The final product, which captures the experience from the perspective of fan, artist, and curator alike, celebrates the uncompromising vitality of this unique festival experience.

We Live in Public

Saturday, May 23th
Neptune Theatre

Monday, May 25th
Egyptian Theatre

Director: Ondi Timoner

Josh Harris predicted this would happen: We're all slaves to the internet. We Facebook, Flickr, Tweet, and blazon our lives all over the internet. Director Ondi Timoner documents the tumultuous life of internet pioneer Josh Harris, the Warholian poster child of the dot-com days who made his millions from founding Jupiter Communications and Psuedo.com, the first internet television network. Throwing his money around like 'sands in the fingers of time,” he launched a 30-day social experiment in the heart of New York City called 'Quiet” in the final days of the last millennium. More than a hundred people participated, agreeing to live under 24-hour surveillance in an underground bunker. They ate, drank, showered, shot guns, had sex, underwent interrogations, and went a little crazy. Harris then turned the cameras on his personal life, installing over 30 cameras throughout the loft he shared with his girlfriend Tanya, webcasting their every move on Weliveinpublic.com. Like Timoner's previous DIG!, We Live in Public has got guts, fast-paced editing and a well-chosen rock soundtrack (including David Bowie and The Jesus and Mary Chain). Fascinating and relevant, the film, through Harris' story, displays the effects of our increasingly public lifestyle via the web.

NY Times columnist admits using blogger's words

Big Time NOT AWESOME

From the AP via Yahoo:

NEW YORK – New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd has admitted to using a paragraph virtually word-for-word from a prominent liberal blogger without attribution.

Dowd acknowledged the error in an e-mail to The Huffington Post on Sunday, the Web site reported. The Times corrected her column online to give proper credit for the material to Talking Points Memo editor Josh Marshall.

The newspaper issued a formal correction Monday saying Dowd "failed to attribute a paragraph about the timeline for prisoner abuse" to Marshall's blog.

The error appeared in Dowd's Sunday column, in which she criticized the Bush administration's use of interrogation methods in the run-up to the Iraq war.

And Finally a Texas mother gave birth
to two set of twins to two diffecn Father

AWESOME

From the NY Daily News:

The 11-month-old twin boys born to a Texas mom have a lot in common, but one thing they don’t share is a father.

That’s because their mother, Mia Washington, cheated on her partner, James Harrison, according to the Daily Mail, and her fling resulted in a one-in-a-million double conception. The result is that one twin, Jordan, is James’s son but the other one, Justin, was fathered by a man whose identity has not been released.

The Dallas mother became suspicious about her sons’ paternity when she realized that their facial features were dissimilar, according to the Daily Mail. She visited Clear Diagnostics DNA Lab, had a paternity test, and learned that there was just a 0.001 chance that the twins could have the same father.

This is our official plan for ending an interview that is going horribly wrong. It is based on the 1992 James Woods film, Diggstown.

Malcome Gladwell book "blink"

Hollywood heavyweight Al Pacino is being touted for a lead role in a movie inspired by Canadian writer Malcolm Gladwell's non-fiction bestseller Blink.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Stephen Gaghan, whose credits include Traffic and Syriana, will write and direct the film, according to industry reports from the Cannes Film Festival.

The plot revolves around an older man attempting to reconnect with his estranged son — a twentysomething drifter who displays the snap judgment decision-making ability Gladwell explores in his book.

An actor has yet to be cast as the son. However, producers are eying a fall start to the production.

MARTIN SCORSESE'S SINATRA PROJECT OFFICIALLY ANNOUNCED

AWESOME

From a item in Rotten Tomatoes:

A year ago this week, the Weekly Ketchup reported Nancy Sinatra's negotiations with Universal Pictures on a biopic of her father, crooner and actor Frank Sinatra, that she hoped Martin Scorsese would direct. This week, the project was finally officially announced by Universal Pictures, with Scorsese indeed attached to direct. Titled Sinatra, the script will be written by Phil Alden Robinson (Field of Dreams, All of Me), whose last theatrical release was way back in 1992 with Sneakers. Although no actor is as yet officially signed to star as Frank Sinatra, one of the producers acknowledged that the top contender is indeed Leonardo DiCaprio, who has obviously emerged as Scorsese's favorite actor in recent years, starring in Gangs of New York, The Aviator, The Departed and the upcoming Shutter Island. However, there is also a rumor that Universal is hot on the idea of Johnny Depp possibly starring as Sinatra, following their happiness with his performance in Public Enemies. There are many different elements of Frank Sinatra's life that seem to be movie-friendly, including his status as one of the most successful singers of the 20th century, his career as an actor, his friends in the Rat Pack, his many romantic conquests, his friendship with J.F.K. and the alleged ties to the mafia. Producer Cathy Schulman said about the scope of the movie that it will be an "unconventional biopic that will touch on all phases of Sinatra's life."

BBC to broadcast Bono's tribute poem to Elvis

From the AP via SFgate.com:

The poetry doesn't rise to a Shakespearean level, but the sentiments in Bono's tribute to Elvis Presley seem heartfelt.

In an unusual performance, the U2 frontman — a pal of presidents — reads an original poem honoring America's original rocker as part of the BBC's poetry season.

"Sabotage" in Star Trek

AWESOME

There seems to be more than a few complaints about JJ Abrams‘ use of the Beastie Boys‘ track Sabotage in the new Star Trek film. But it isn’t at all random, and not just inserted twenith centry pop culture. First off, the sequence in question is when 13-year-old James T Kirk steals his step-father’s antique convertable and drives it off a cliff.

I must give screenwriters Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci credit on this one. I believe this scene to be a multi-layed metaphor, and the choice of music might be a call back to William Shatner, who played the James T Kirk in the original series.

The economics of Yankee Stadium vs Safeco field

Yankee: NOT AWESOME
Mariners: AWSOME

From
A Blog Post:

Ticket prices at the new Yankee Stadium are so high that if a New Yorker wants to watch a Mariners/Yankees game from the best seats, it would be a lot cheaper to fly to Seattle, stay in a nice hotel, eat fancy dinners, and see two games.

Option 1: Two tickets to Tuesday night, June 30, Mariners at Yanks, cost for just the tickets, $5,000.

Option 2: Two round-trip airline tickets to Seattle, Friday, Aug. 14, return Sunday the 16th, rental car for three days, two-night double occupancy stay in four-star hotel, two top tickets to both the Saturday and Sunday Yanks-Mariners games, two best-restaurant-in-town dinners for two. Total cost, $2,800. Plus-frequent flyer miles.

And what do they get for that as of this typing

Reporting a death in Seattle

Back on May 5, the West Seattle Blog reported on a death at the Roxbury Safeway, or, more specifically, a dead body at the Safeway, a woman who’d died elsewhere and was brought to the store by two men looking for a phone to report the death.

Reading this story it struck me that if I somehow came across someone who died, I’d have no idea whom to call. I’ve never been in the company of someone who’d passed away without also being in the company of someone who knew what to do. It dawned on me that I might not be the only one who was at a loss as to how to handle a death, so I turned to the Seattle Police Department for answers.

From The AP:

An American journalist imprisoned on espionage charges in Iran for four months was freed Monday and reunited with her smiling, tearful parents _ a move that clears a major obstacle to President Barack Obama's attempts at dialogue with the top U.S. adversary in the Middle East. The United States had said the charges against Roxana Saberi, a 32-year-old dual Iranian-American citizen, were baseless and repeatedly demanded her release.

Hard-line President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad could also win some domestic political points a month before he faces a re-election challenge from reformers who seek to ease Iran's bitter rivalry with the United States.

From the Times of London:

Australia is known around the world for its large and deadly creepy crawlies, but even locals have been shocked by the size of the giant venomous spiders that have invaded an Outback town in Queensland.

Scores of eastern tarantulas, which are known as “bird-eating spiders” and can grow larger than the palm of a man’s hand, have begun crawling out from gardens and venturing into public spaces in Bowen, a coastal town about 700 miles northwest of Brisbane.

Earlier this week locals spotted an Australian tarantula wandering towards a public garden in the centre of town where people often sit for lunch. They called in a pest controller, but not before using a can of insect spray to paralyse the spider.

Spinal Tap Released a New Song:

AWESOME

From Billboasrd:

The inspiration for a new Spinal Tap album differs depending on who you ask. Harry Shearer -- who crafted Tap with partners Christopher Guest and Michael McKean and director Rob Reiner -- tells Billboard.com the 25th anniversary of the hit parody "This is Spinal Tap" meant "we should probably do it again. There were still a lot of Spinal Tap songs that had never been recorded."

But Tap bassist Derek Smalls contends that "Back From the Dead," which is due out June 16, has more to do with technological advancements than to commemorate a film that "made us out to be a laughing stock." "Basically," says Smalls (Shearer's Tap alter ego), "it was possible to put out a record that was louder than any we've ever had before, and that was a selling point right there. We could have the loudest Spinal Tap record there's ever been, and we thought, 'Well, yeah, why not?'"

KFC Cancelled the Oprah-Endorsed, Free Grilled Chicken promotion

Video and News Story Below



From the Detroit News Via The A.P.:

Louisville, Ky. -- Memo to KFC: Never underestimate the power of Oprah Winfrey.

Or the lure of a freebie.

A free grilled-chicken meal promotion touted by the popular talk show host has caused such a frenzy that a few stores ran out, and the Louisville-based chain is asking customers to take a rain check for the deal.

Advertisement

"For the last day and a half, our restaurants have just been absolutely inundated," KFC President Roger Eaton said in an interview Thursday with the Associated Press. "It's just been overwhelming."

Lines snaked outside some KFC restaurants and cars stacked up at drive-through windows as people waited to redeem the coupons available on Oprah.com for 24 hours this week, he said. The coupons also were available until late Wednesday on unthinkfc.com -- a KFC Web site promoting the new grilled chicken.

Restaurants summoned extra help to keep pace with the crowds, yet some customers waited an hour and a half as the chain gave away millions of the meals Tuesday, Wednesday and part of Thursday.

Uncomfortable with the delays, the chain decided to ask people to wait longer for the meals -- but with the hope of a more peaceful setting in which to eat them. Eaton said the company will mail coupons to customers in stages and throw in a free soft drink.

"The way we're operating at the moment isn't giving the experience that we'd like to give them," he said.

Police in Greensboro, N.C., said the backup of vehicles heading to a KFC there created a hazard at the dinner hour Wednesday. A 911 caller complained of people arguing and said traffic was stopped, according to a 911 report. Authorities eventually blocked access to the restaurant, and many customers left without redeeming their coupons.

There were isolated reports across the country of customers becoming upset at KFC stores as they waited or as stores ran out of chicken on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The company said Thursday that it had received no reports of violence or arrests.

The rush began when the downloadable coupons were available on Oprah.com for 24 hours beginning Tuesday after Winfrey announced the promotion on her show. Each coupon promised two pieces of grilled chicken, two individual side orders and a biscuit.

A spokeswoman for Winfrey's Harpo Productions in Chicago applauded the company's decision to offer rain checks for the new meals, which KFC introduced three weeks ago as a healthier alternative to its popular staple, fried chicken.

"We feel this new plan is a great new way to accommodate the overwhelming interest," the spokeswoman said.

The free-meal promotion was funded by KFC, a spokeswoman for the chain said.

Known for generosity, Winfrey has doled out impressive giveaways for her studio audiences, from books to cars, and her comments or support have caused distinct spikes in the popularity of everything from consumer goods to political candidates. She also has hosted a televised philanthropy competition, "Oprah's Big Give," where contestants help people in need.

KFC, a subsidiary of Louisville-based Yum Brands Inc., has backed its new Kentucky Grilled Chicken with an advertising blitz. The chain hopes to lure health-conscious customers with its grilled offering, which is lower in fat, calories and sodium than the chain's fried chicken.

KFC has never had such a response to a special-meal offer, said KFC spokeswoman Laurie Schalow.

"It's unprecedented in our more than 50 years," she said. "It beats anything we've ever done."

The chain would not say how much the giveaway cost because the expense was part of its much larger national marketing and promotions budget for the year.

"The relative costs of a day like yesterday are very small relative to the potential value of getting people to taste this product," Eaton said. The draw, he said, was a mix of Winfrey's star power, the lure of a free meal in tough times and curiosity about the new product.

It's been a heady couple days for a chain that's been struggling in the United States but growing furiously overseas, particularly in China.

"We're getting people into the restaurants through this promotion who haven't been to KFC for a very long time," Eaton said. "We're basically repositioning the brand through this exercise."

From the KFC Web Site at kfc.com

We are so sorry, but due to the overwhelming response to our FREE Kentucky Grilled Chicken™ meal coupon, we can no longer redeem the free coupon at this time. But we will honor our commitment to giving you a free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal.

Please visit a participating KFC restaurant for a rain check form. Complete the form, attach your original coupon , and give it to the KFC restaurant manager or postmark per the form’s instructions, by May 19, 2009, and we’ll send you a rain check for your free Kentucky Grilled Chicken meal at a later date, plus a free Pepsi with our compliments. Your participating KFC restaurant will provide you with the form you need.

Please note that the redemption periods of the rain checks will vary. All other terms and conditions of the original free Kentucky Grilled Chicken coupon will apply.

Thank you for your understanding,

Roger Eaton

If you haven’t spent any time lately in the wild world of baby-naming, you may be surprised to learn that Cohen is one of the hottest new names for boys, rising from No. 650 in 2004, when it debuted on the Social Security’s most popular names list, to No. 393 last year, when 761 baby boys received the name. It’s in Canada’s Top 100, and has gained a following in the U.K. as well.

The initial inspiration: The character on television’s The O.C., Seth Cohen—typically called just plain Cohen—with a little pop-culture help from fellow Cohens, Sacha Baron and Leonard, along with the filmmaking Coen Brothers.

In this Tough economy

for Free Grill Chicken

That is a Great Ideal, Right

From New York Magazine:

There’s something that seems just not right about Oprah Winfrey giving away KFC, but relax — it’s Kentucky Grilled Chicken, so that makes it okay. The stuff looks flat-out nasty to us (they could’t have taken a better picture?), but demand is so rampant for the coupon (downloadable till midnight tonight and good for two pieces, two sides, and the worst biscuit you’ll ever taste) that people over at Oprah.com are freaking out. Yesterday a message on the site said: “Due to the overwhelming interest to download the grilled chicken coupon KFC is experiencing technical difficulties. We are aware of this problem and KFC is working to solve the issue as quickly as possible.” The thousands of user comments amount to a harrowing power struggle between those who’ve managed to download the coupon and those with only a proverbial wing and a prayer. Somewhere, as her loyal subjects descend into a desperate mob, Oprah must be out there saying, “Let them eat chicken!” Here are the most heart wrenching of the comments.
