Police Called In Over Popeye’s Chicken Special Shortage

Behind “Police Line Do Not Cross” tape stood dozens at Popeye’s on Wednesday. Cars lined down side streets waiting for the drive through as police officers put up the tape. No one was hurt. They were just hungry.

Popeye’s Chicken and Biscuits offered hungry people nationwide a deep-fried discount on an eight-piece chicken meal Wednesday, and in Hempstead that brought fried chicken lovers out in droves.

The $4.99 offer was irrestible as hundreds of people packed the Popeye’s on Hempstead Turnpike in Hempstead, pouring out the door and down a ramp, while inside people waited in a snaking line throughout the restaurant.

Krevaughn Mascall, 17 of West Hempstead, said he saw the advertisement for the one-day deal on national television as he watched the Dallas Mavericks and San Antonio Spurs first-round NBA playoff game.

“It’s like there is a celebrity in there or something,” Mascall said as he waited outside with his younger sister.

Mascall said he wanted to come back on Thursday to compare the length-of-wait, but for now he just wanted to satisfy his craving.

“I hope they don’t run out,” he said. “I hope I get my chicken!”

Former KKK leader detained in Prague

April 24th, 2009 | No Comments | Posted in Weird News

PRAGUE (AP) — Former Klan leader David Duke has been detained by police in the Czech Republic on suspicion of denying the Holocaust.

Duke went there at the invitation of neo-Nazis to promote the Czech translation of a book he wrote.

A police spokesman says the book includes a denial of the Holocaust.

The denial is a crime that is punishable by up to three years in Czech prisons.

Charles University in Prague banned a lecture by Duke that had been scheduled today for students taking a course in extremism.

Duke is from Louisiana, and is a former Republican state lawmaker.
