> But now, for once, i find myself on the side annoyed at the poker of fun. A couple fast food companies in the U.S. who sell chicken have chosen to promote their new products with commercials that run the idea that "nobody knows where on the chicken the 'nugget' comes from. OK, funny. Yeah.

> Problem is the new products being advertised: chicken (breast) strips and "popcorn" chicken. Did the thought not occur to ANYone developing these ads that neither the "strip" nor "popcorn" is any recognizable part of the chicken, either?

Also in that series of ads is one where the excruciatingly annoying Jason Alexander berates a burger employee for covering up hamburger patties with mustard and ketchup. "What are you trying to hide, burger boy?" I believe are the rotund demon's lines.

The KFC commercial that follows extolls the happy-joy-joyness of some chicken strips that have been drenched in a honey barbeque sauce.
