KFC Stacks It

Published by SJ under General

I am taking KFC to task if the response I get here is the same as I have gotten from everyone I ask in person.

Apparently “its back!”

What is “back” you may ask?….. the Stacker is back!

What is a stacker you may ask? Well, it is some chicken fillet burger with all the normal lettuce toppings and a bloody hash brown jammed on top, or stacked if you will. What’s more, it appears to have returned to us from where it once was.

KFC’s latest advertisement consists of a bunch of people sitting around, receiving the news that the “stacker is back”, they then morph, into only what I could describe as a psychotic fit of glee, that this burger is back.

My problem with KFC’s strategy is that I do not remember EVER seeing or trying this particular burger before. I must disclose at this point my propensity for all things ‘fast food’ and feel that if this burger has ever been on the market in this country during my lifetime, I would more than likely have tried it.

What I am basically saying is that I think KFC are using false advertising in this campaign and I want you good people to confirm or deny your memory of this burger.

Nadal and St Pierre take the crown

Published by SJ under General

A new number 1 of world tennis was officially crowned this evening with Nadal taking Federer to task. I know Nadal has been number 1 for a while but after this performance his security in the top position was locked in Eddy.

What I couldn’t get over is the amount of balls this bloke will run down. He is like the freaking terminator with his relentless ability to get the bal back. At some points I am sure Federer would of thought he was in actual fact playing against a brick wall!

To his credit, Federer fought like a dog but he just seemed to come up with errors at the worst times. Some of his double faults were horrendous and his unforced errors in the final set had me giving myself uppercuts. I should point out at this stage that I had Federer as the last leg of a multi leg sports bet that would have paid nicely had the Swiss dud got up. Maybe ‘dud’ is a bit unfair but after costing me some cold hard cash it’s all I can feel. He obviously didn’t bring his knife with him to this battle.

At UFC 94 Georges ‘Rush’ St-Pierre dominated B J Penn in the most absolute way possible. I must also disclose that I had made a reasonable investment on B J Penn as well. After telling St-Pierre he was going to try and “kill him”, “make him tap”, “make him quite” and “knock him out” barley a whimper was heard as B J’s corner wouldn’t let him out for round five, how embarrassing! I have always wondered how a fighter feels the day after he loses a fight after talking it up something chronic. I suspect B J Penn would be best positioned to advise me of this but he won’t even front the media.

On a night where nearly all the fights went to the judges score card and there were a number of long grappling wars there was one shining KO highlight. Strangely it involved the fighters I thought may go the distance. Lyoto Machida taught Thiago Silva a valuable lesson right at the end of round 1 as you will see below.

Oh and Michael Clarke is still CRAP ….. just marginally less crap than Australia are at cricket.
