Rumours of my demise have been much exaggerated. I haven’t been eaten by the hogs, I haven’t sold out to the Man. I haven’t quaffed the hemlock, I haven’t screwed the pooch, I haven’t jumped the shark. OK, maybe those last two, but that’s it, officer.
What has happened, apparently, is that I’ve been killed, cooked, and incorporated into a delicious sandwich.
Kids, let this be a lesson. Live right, or it could happen to you too. [via]
Update: Apparently the marketing team that made the ad had never heard of my nom de blog, but thought it was pretty funny once they had. Cool.
Did you find that video as is? Whether you did or not, it was great. Glad to ‘hear’ from you again.
Crazy, Wonderchicken, as usual. Glad to see there is life in the old bird yet.
Good to see you’re not dead yet. A guy was starting to wonder.
Yep, still kickin’, still cluckin’.
And yeah, Shell, as far as I know, that video is totally unaltered. Like I said at Metafilter, I’m thinking it may be a horsehead-in-the-bed warning from the American Association of Advertising Agencies that I’d better watch my anti-marketing trash talk, or I’ll be sleeping with the mayonnaise.
We miss you, stavros?
