Chicken chicken chicken

Believe it or not, this is the second post at the World's Fair which just has the word "chicken" three times in the title. Anyway, this went viral a few years ago, but for some reason I find it really really funny. Plus, it's on my mind because it relates a little to an event I'm involved in coming up, which is all about presentation and speaking opportunities.

Here's the paper (front page shown and link to pdf here)

And here is the video:


How he handles the question at the end is particularly inspired.

That's like one of the funniest talks I've ever seen. I think the person who's like howling in the back really adds to the video.

Excerpts from the poem by John Cooper Clark, "Evidently chicken town".

the fucking pubs are fucking dull

the fucking clubs are fucking full

of fucking girls and fucking guys

with fucking murder in their eyes

a fucking bloke is fucking stabbed

waiting for a fucking cab

you fucking stay at fucking home

the fucking neighbors fucking moan

keep the fucking racket down

this is fucking chicken town

the fucking cops are fucking keen
to fucking keep it fucking clean

the fucking chief's a fucking swine

who fucking draws a fucking line

at fucking fun and fucking games

the fucking kids he fucking blames

are nowehere to be fucking found

anywhere in chicken town

fuckin' stuck in chickentown
