The fast-food chain urged German customers to commemorate the Nazi pogrom with cheesy chicken.

KFC has apologised after sending a promotional message to customers in Germany, urging them to commemorate Kristallnacht with cheesy chicken.

The fast food chain sent an app alert on Wednesday, saying: "It's memorial day for Kristallnacht! Treat yourself with more tender cheese on your crispy chicken. Now at KFCheese!""We are very sorry, we will check our internal processes immediately so that this does not happen again. Please excuse this error," the message is reported to have said.

Daniel Sugarman, Director of Public Affairs at the Board of Deputies of British Jews described the original KFC message as "absolutely hideous".

their chicken tastes like shit anyway every time we buy it never fresh

Outrageous, distorted paragraph two. “Left more than 90 people dead”. No, , it left more than 90 *Jews* dead. Don’t say “people” died, when you know full well that wouldn’t be the reporting standard with any other religion. Please change it. Antisemitism BBC100

Breaking news!!!: Kanye West was hired as KFC's new marketing manager yesterday.

Right colour scheme. Mechanically recovered meats can be high in fluoride, remember. The BBC has that colour scheme too...

Mass murder is not amusing trivia

How can this have been a system error

Wtf

'The fast food chain said the 'automated push notification' was 'linked to calendars that include national observances'.' Some guy in IT probably thought he was a genius for a second.

Lol

Call it out for what it is.... ....Chickstallnacht....

A 'system' error? I think they mean 'systemic.'

Boycott them period , How bloody crass and shameful they are

What?!

Right up there with this:

not kfc trying to out nazi chick-fil-a.

That's never an error, sorry, somebody needs to be accountable for that!

That is some error.

KFC has the highest number of complaints about food hygiene than other fast food outlet. From mice and critters in the food to franchise owners preparing 'chicken' in the toilets. Enjoy.

Hmmm,bit like the Siemens domestic appliance range they were calling Zyclon (as in cyclone)...
