Statue of Liberty in shocking pose

I haven't been able to ween myself off serious news blogs like TMZ and Crazy Days & Nights, but I have managed to switch to reading the new posts as a list in my blog reader, forcing myself to choose which posts to open, rather than reading all of them. I usually just pop open the stuff that catches my eye, like Twilight Stars Snatched from Burger King.

What caught my eye at the bottom of this story was the mention of the Subservient Chicken, some new promotional gimmick from Burger King which allows computer savvy users (i.e. you can type) to issue commands to a virtual chicken. Of course, it's not a real chicken; it's just a guy dressed up in a ratty chicken costume, complete with lots of tail feathers and a somewhat disturbing garter belt. Unable to resist, I typed in a few commands, just to see how smart and/or willing to comply this chicken is:


Do a cartwheel


Dance like John Travolta


Pose like the Statue of Liberty

Well... two out of three isn't bad. And, honestly, this does not make me want to run out and buy a chicken sandwich. But please do kill a few minutes ordering the chicken around.... I'll buy a Whopper for the lucky person who can make the chicken redecorate.
