Restaurants This is an outrage!

How can 24 mouths be so wrong?:
Last week we announced that Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen was taking on the Colonel in a taste test that pitted Louisiana cookin' against Kentucky's finest fried fowl.This past Monday, Popeyes said that it beat KFC Original Recipe in a national taste test. Well, we just couldn't resist conducting our own.
With over 60 pieces of chicken breasts (we compared only white meat) lining the counters in the AOL kitchen, we asked the office to join us for our own taste test.
See if our co-workers agreed — is Popeyes fried chicken better than KFC?
Based on appearances, it looked like Popeyes had a shot at winning the title — the skin was noticeably more crispy and crunchy and the pieces of chicken were meatier. However, our testers felt differently when it came to the taste. While a crunchy crust is important, it's all about the flavor of the meat and spices used in flavoring the crust.
Final Count: KFC 24 vs. Popeyes 9

They also used 'over' (instead of 'more than') incorrectly, so consider the source.
First of all, AOL is still in business? Who uses their service besides 9 yr old girls? AOL hasn't been an authority on anything since Al Gore invented the interwebs. Those AOL tools can't tell the difference between live stock and preferred stock, let alone fried chicken. Popeyes rule.
Besides the stupidity of ordering white meat they also used Popeyes mild chicken. What a joke.
