Food Porn -- Burger King Subservient
Chicken 04/09/2004 04:05 PM
BoingBoing reader aeon points us to a bizarre marketing move by junk-food empire Burger King:

...For when "your way" calls for an enslaved chicken, Burger King invites you to "have chicken your way" by offering you the newest in ads even veteran AdBusters won't want to bust: The Subservient Chicken. He "riverdances", he "throws pillows", he "builds forts" and he even takes "bonghits". He's technically a rooster, but let's not worry about that when we can tell him to "play air guitar", "moonwalk", or "grab crotch like michael jackson." The Subservient Chicken: more than a furry's dream come true, more than a timewaster for stoned college kids; this method of advertizing just begs to be copied like so many memes. Plus, you can tell him to "die".

How very interesting. I wonder if the ad execs who came up with this realize (a) the Internet is so weird that genuine furry submissive fetish poultry sites with live webcams already exist, and (b) (this is absolutely true) legendary porn magnate Larry Flynt claims to have lost his virginity to a chicken? If so, the new Burger King campaign is extra-creepy, hold the fries. And if not, they really ought to be reading more BoingBoing. Link to Subserrvient Chicken

Update: BoingBoing reader Bobby Martin says, "For the obsessive compulsive, we've started a list of things the subservient chicken will and won't do. It's on a wiki, so you can sign up and add your quirky/interesting/fucking weird discoveries to the list for all to see." Excerpts:
Will Do: poop | macarena | lol | fart | lay an egg | hokey pokey
Will do, sort of: flip me off | masturbate | get funky | tear the place up
Won't do: barf | hurtle the couch or jump over it | vacuum

King Spot: CC-licensed fairy tale well

King Spot: CC-licensed fairy tale well
told 04/17/2005 04:04 AM
Cory Doctorow: Mike sez, "I've written a 48-chapter all-ages novella while looking for work, and I have begun posting it reserving rights under the creative commons license. It's 20,000 words and some change, but should be about 230 pages when illustrated (comic-panel storytelling has been sketched for most pages)."

I read the first couple short chapters this morning. It's a snappy, witty fairy-tale kind of thing, like Geek Love without the squick, and if I didn't have to run, I'd be reading it still. It concerns itself with the adventures of King Spot, a runaway circus dog who is the king of the world.

"Hey, look over there," said Roger. "Check out the peg-legged guy with the funny-looking dog." Roger was talking about a very large man in an overcoat, whose face was hidden by a scarf. To his left was a tiny, spotted dog.

"Are you trying to trick me?" said Brian. "I have to be careful, because, unlike lying for fun, using deception to win a game is not considered immoral. It's called bluffing."

"Brian, you talk like you're going to read shampoo instructions for a living when you grow up," said Roger. "You'll find a job where you can talk like this: 'After you lather the shampoo in your hair, rinse it out. Then lather and rinse it from your hair again.' You'll do this in the supermarkets where they sell the shampoo. They'll pay you to go away."

Cable Customers Told To (Expletive) Off

Cable Customers Told To (Expletive) Off 09/27/2004 12:29 AM
Having just spent well over an hour talking listening to hold music and occasionally chatting with representatives of a certain cable company, scoffing at the "we're available 24 hours, seven days a week" claims dumped into the hold music (if they were available, I wouldn't be on hold, would I?), it's not too hard to figure out what motivated someone to change the greeting that people in the UK heard upon dialing the customer support line at cable firm NTL. It appears that either a hacker or a disgruntled employee with access changed the message to something that probably wouldn't be considered family friendly: "You are through to NTL customer services. We don't give a (expletive) about you. We are never here. We just (expletive) you about, basically, and we are not going to handle any of your complaints. Just (expletive) off and leave us alone." Of course, the scary thing is that, no matter what they say, this certainly is how many of these companies seem to act towards their customers.

Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridian

Burger Joint at Le Parker Meridian 03/17/2005 03:16 AM

After ice skating with friends in Central Park the other day, we hit the Burger Joint in Le Parker Meridien hotel for some much needed sustenance. This is one of those classic New York juxtapositions, a burgers-only greasy spoon (dinner: $8) in a midtown four-star hotel (rooms start at $300/night)...kinda like discovering an In-N-Out Burger in a Four Seasons hotel. Duck behind the curtain in the lobby and you'll find good burgers, beer (Sam Adams only), and an eclectic music mix (Bobby McFerrin, Edwin Starr's War, and some opera).

After we ate, JCN inquired at the counter how such an odd arrangement came to be. A hip bar previously occupied the space, but the bartender left and took a bunch of his clientele with him. The space lay fallow for a time while they figured out what to do with it, but renovating the space and building up a new clientele was too daunting for them. Someone had the idea of putting a burger place in there, so they put walls on the space and gave it a try. Judging by the full house in there and the terrific lines at lunchtime on weekdays, it's succeeded pretty well.
