Winner, winner, Chicken Dinner Road

[hondo]

One more example that the people at PETA are sorely in need of real lives ...

What the cluck? PETA finds name of rural road in Idaho distasteful, asks for change

Work on lab testing or spaying ... something that people won't laugh their asses at you about.

PETA and the Westboro Baptist Church are masters of the same tactic: be sure, 3-4 times per year, to make some demand so outrageous it will make the news. Doesn’t matter if you actually believe it or actually care, just do it and drink in the fresh attention.

Did a story on a PETA protest at the local KFC, they'd get some good looking young woman in a yellow bikini out front holding a sign. After the story ran I received a great bobblehead . Always figured the folks at PETA had the media figured out more than any other group seeking coverage - sex and violence.

Why does KFC always take the bulk of the crap? If I want tortured chickens I’ll go to Chick Fil A or Popeye’s.

I wish I had an image, but a student at my local high school had on his art submission a drive-thru at KFP.

I think Sprite is the winner winner.

Kentucky Fried Poultry?

I'd ask if I could get two 6s to go, but I'd end up in jail.

Went out to dinner with friends years ago. It was at some burger place, nothing fancy. We walk out and PETA folks are on the sidewalk offering samples of some chicken alternative. I don’t know if it was made from beans, chickpeas, whatever — it was brutal.

My apologies if you've heard this before. But animal-rights groups, to me, were defined forever by the Fred Coleman Memorial Pigeon Shoot in Hegins, Pa.

For many, many years, the coal crackers of central Pennsylvania flocked to that community every Labor Day. And yes, it was just as gruesome as it sounds. They had the schoolchildren go out into the field where the birds landed to break the necks of those who were still breathing.

Well, Fund For Animals found out about it one year in the early '80s. and descended upon the small village in waves. Half of them dumped animal blood on the Hegins exit signs on Interstate 81. Just as many went out to the field and sat in the middle, trading screams with the locals.

It was the ultimate example of two groups with absolutely no understanding of the other's reality, and even less desire to understand it. The pigeon shoot continued until 1998, when the locals reluctantly pivoted to a Labor Day community picnic.

Most fake chicken is barely edible. Use Beyond Chicken Tenders if you must or are just curious. BTW, KFC charges way, way too much for them.

I’m totally cool and eat plant-based beeflike products from time-to-time. Especially meatballs in spaghetti.

Fake chicken? Un-uh.

This is old AF. The art piece was a chicken at the Kentucky Fried People drive-thru serving other chickens. I dug it at the time.

 

[Slacker]

I'm just glad Cluckin Chicken lives on via YouTube. It went missing for a long stretch a few years ago.

“Weeeee, look at me! I’m getting quartered and split!
Breasts, wings, the whole nine yards. ... Choppity-chop!”
