PETA Protests The Chicken Dance

PETA is protesting the Chicken Dance. Yes, that's right - the Chicken Dance. NASCAR fans at the Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday are being asked to help set a record for the Guinness Book of World Records for the largest Group Chicken Dance. The record setting event is being sponsored by Kentucky Fried Chicken. PETA is protesting the event because they say KFC is cruel to their chickens.

I'm so NOT for the cruelty of animals, but it's the CHICKEN DANCE. There are no actual chickens involved, PETA! (Well, aside from the guy dressed up in a giant chicken costume, but I'm pretty sure the only thing being harmed here is the man's ego.)

Since you're apparently confused PETA (and the red paint fumes will do that to you), the Chicken Dance is not a dance being done by real chickens. See, the chicken dance is just humans flapping their hands and arms, in what most call, a chicken-like fashion. Now before you start claiming emotional distress to chickens, it's important to remember that the Chicken Dance is all in good fun. It's really more of a tribute to chickens that there is a dance named after them. Kind of like a comedy Roast.

I mean, look at the Foxtrot. I don't claim to be a dance expert, but I have never seen a fox trot in that manner. To call that dance a Foxtrot is just plain confusing and weird. Harmful to the foxes? No, but I think the Chicken Dance is more complimentary to the chickens than the Foxtrot is to the fox.

So, for those of you that donate money to PETA, this is what your hard earned money is being used for - to protest the Chicken Dance. To protest a dance in which PEOPLE dance around like chickens.

And in other news...
Tostitos is holding a Salsa dance competition, but they are confused as to why competitors are actually people. Officials in Philadelphia are investigating a city-wide power outage they claim occured after the high school prom played the Electric Slide. And it is now being recommended that if you perform The Running Man between the hours of sunset to sunrise you wear reflective clothing.
