  • Irony...

    You know how Chick-Fil-A uses the cows in their ad campaign?

    On their website you can purchase a genuine leather wallet.

          Reminded me of a joke some commedian used in his act (have to paraphrase, it's from years ago, don't remember his name...)...

          "I'm walking down the street, wearing my leather jacket, and this woman comes up to me and yells at me "DID YOU KNOW A COW DIED FOR THAT JACKET?"

          So I said to her ''I didn't know there were any witnesses... Now I'll have to kill you too..." "

                So a chicken place that uses cows in their advertisements are selling genuine (cow) leather wallets. I hardly think that that is ironic. In fact, it fits in rather well with the whole ad campaign, if you ask me.

                    And behind their backs, Chik-Fil-A is selling leather wallets. Personally, I think it's genius.

                        These guys can't spell chicken, chances or here, I wouldn't be too worried were I the cows. The food looks pretty un-appetising on the website, and I doubt they deliver to London anyway, so I'm afraid I won't be buying a wallet.

                        The PEZ dispenser on the other hand is an "I want one of those" kinda deal :-))

                          It's pretty much the best chicken sandwich you can get at a fast food restaurant around here. And they have killer sweet tea. That stuff is addictive!
