Charles Payne: National Chicken Council has very hardworking men and women
FOX Business host Charles Payne thanks the National Chicken Council for keeping America fed on ‘Making Money.’
KFC Germany issued an apology after a "semi-automated" push notification system promoted "tender cheese with crispy chicken" as a way to remember the anniversary of a Jewish massacre.
"It's memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!" the message said according to the BBC.
The company apologized for an "obviously wrong, insensitive and unacceptable message" pushed out on the Nov. 9 anniversary of Kristallnacht, the "night of broken glass" when a Nazi paramilitary group carried out an organized massacre of Jewish people.
The name derived from the morning after when broken glass from the shattered storefronts of Jewish-owned businesses littered the streets. An estimated 91 Jewish people died and 267 synagogues were destroyed, with many businesses looted, according to the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
