Chicken crisis
15 years ago
General
So if you watch The Boondocks on Cartoon Network (Where it's available, I know a lotta you can't...) did you see Sundays' episode?
For those friends outside the US here's what happened...
There was a fried chicken fast food chain that had this huge special deal to drum up sales (I think it was for a new recipe or something)and suddenly... they run out of fried chicken. It turns into CHAOS, people who are SO MAD because there's no fried chicken that they drive their cars through the establishment, causing fist fights, and just all around full on HAVOC! THEN... word gets out that there's some sort of chicken virus, projected to kill millions of people in every state. People are getting sick, going into comas, all from eating the chicken. People begin to take the law into their own hands when they run low of supplies. They loot other's homes and defend themselves with home made mustard gas. Eventually people are having to leave thier homes, causing raging ROAD WARDS over boxes of Cheerie-Ohs and cans of peas! It's all out war as society begins to collapse... all because they ran out of fried chicken...
turned out the chicken virus was just Salmonella... society returns to normal and we all live happily ever after.
Now you know what happens when my fryer breaks at work.
