KFC Uganda – SO YOU THINK WE ARE EXPENSIVE?? Pshh…(this is what I would say if I was KFC Uganda's PR guy.

COMPARED TO WHAT?

“KFC prices are too expensive” “That 100k chicken bucket is exorbitant” These are comments that have become so familiar as they make the rounds on social media in Kampala. Our prices have also quite become the topic of choice over a few sun downer beers around bars and living rooms all over the city.
We could bet that every business owner has heard a customer say this, be it true or not. But before we shrug this off and start justifying that our price is just right - let's think about the last person who told you that KFC is too expensive. What were they thinking? And how do you think we could you have changed their minds?

In most cases, everyone is making comparisons, drawing analogies. e.t.c. In other words, you had a price you set in your mind before you actually knew our prices So you had actually made a decision about what you were willing to pay before we told you what we wanted you to pay.

KFC being an international brand means that many of you have come across our franchise across the world and what is happening is that your perception of what is expensive and what is affordable is set by your expectations of what you’d be paying at home...or away for that matter.
We are not selling anything any different than what is already on the market but you have got to realize that the price you pay at KFC is more than just for the chicken – it is for the whole KFC experience
Do not get us wrong – we value your expectations in line with the image we portray and we hope that our prices and quality definitely shape your experiences at KFC. W are just keepin’ it finger lickin’ real.

This writer is simply stating what he thinks could be a rebuttal for KFC and the endless whining over their prices. He also runs LiveWire Advertising - what's up KFC!

Kanye West at it Again - Flies to Juba, South Sudan, for Mandela's Burial - not South Africa

 The Central African state of South Sudan was yesterday thrown into a frenzy with National Security Officers scrambling to the airport and public speculation spiraling out of control with rumors of a possible attack on the country's national airport, after an unmarked private jet touched down at Juba International airport. The airforce scrambled private jets and the filled the tarmac with military Police as the lone jet finally came to a final halt. Sources on the runway have confirmed to us that as soon as the airplane door opened, it took about 5 minutes for anyone to come out of the plane.

5 minutes later, a lone passenger disembarked with the biggest smile on his face - it was none other than Kanye West. Another Source informed us of how Mr. West then proceeded to walk down the stairs and kiss the tarmac before he screamed out loud for how happy he was to be in the motherland. Before he could finish saying motherland - a group of over 12 security guards grabbed his and whisked him away for serious security grilling.

After about 30 tense minutes, an angry Kanye West walked out of the airport building - only this time he wasn't wearing the same smile he disembarked his private jet with.

Close Security sources have notified us that they let Mr. West go after they realized he had simply landed in the wrong city, in the wrong country. "He needs to be in Johannesburg, South Africa and not Juba, South Sudan, these Americans do not know anything about Africa, so he just got onto his aeroplane and came here, thinking Mr Mandela is to be buried here. They are just ignorant sometimes." said a senior Immigration oficer. Mr West was supposedly on his way to attend the burial of the recently passed South African political icon, Mr Nelson Mandela even though he was not invited. In his defense, he stated that he was entitled to be at Mandela's burial because of the same stature of greatness that they share. When asked why he ended up in South Sudan, he simply said he told his private pilot that he was going to a country in Africa with a city that starts with the letter J. His pilot simply knew that he was going to a country in Africa that begins with SOUTH - So with as little research as possible - they headed off to Africa and ended up in Juba, South Sudan instead of Johannesburg, South Africa.

After news of Kanye's glowing ignorance made the rounds across the city - business went back to normal as he was seen walking around the city mumbling to himself and constantly on his phone.

This goes down as a real Kanye West super fail in his seemingly unending quest to top his last ignorant moment.

He has since left South Sudan but we can only hope he is not headed to South Korea where he will meet up with a bemused Sarah Palin.
