A 100 billboard campaign for a fried chicken sandwich at a convenience store raises the ire of a few, complaining the phrase "Crispy Fricken Chicken" is foul language.

code enforcement officer Fran CalarcoThere was a lady who left an angry voice mail. And a man called and said he had small children and didn't think they should be exposed to that type of language. I told him I completely understood and agreed.

What the frick?

Sheetz, Inc. spokesperson Monica JonesWe're kind of known for edgy, kind of brash advertising tactics, and we knew this would spark a certain amount of controversy. That said, we're proud of the campaign.

The ads are scheduled to come down Wednesday after the campaign ends.

Seriously, fricken?

Don't they realize the whole point of a minced oath is to be inoffensive?

A local brewer advertised a new craft beer as "a great firkin beer." Firkin is evidently a certain barrel size used for some beers....yep, a quarter barrel.

I dunno if he got any flak about it, though.
