Teen's New Name: KentuckyFriedCruelty.com

Fri Dec 30, 4:58 PM ET

NEW YORK - A 19-year-old PETA staffer has legally changed his name to KentuckyFriedCruelty.com.

Chris Garnett, youth outreach coordinator for the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, said he changed his name in support of the group's anti-KFC campaign.

"People don't believe me at first when I tell them my name, but it never fails to spark a discussion," Garnett, er, KentuckyFriedCruelty.com, said in a statement. "Many vow to boycott KFC after I explain the company's indifference to cruelty to animals."

Norfolk, Va.-based PETA's complaints against KFC stem from video footage shot last year recording alleged mistreatment of birds at a Pilgrim's Pride Corp. plant in Moorefield, W.Va. The plant is a KFC supplier.

Yum! Brands, the parent company of KFC, has disputed the claims of mistreatment. In June, a grand jury refused to indict former workers at the West Virginia chicken plant.

"Stacked" star Pamela Anderson, who has narrated a PETA video showing the alleged abuse, supports Garnett's name change.

"I'm sure Chris can't wait till KFC stops torturing chickens so he can change his name back," the actress said in a statement, adding that the chicken abuse "is awful and has to stop."

PETA's about the only place that'd hire this pantload.

Imagine trying to get a gig at Taco Bell with that name.

A genius Freeper asked a question last week along the lines of... wouldn't you rather eat a chicken who looks at the axe and thinks "freedom"?

When I heard about the finger, I took my kids to Wendy's as a mild of in-your-face reactionism. I ahve always loved KFC coleslaw, aven when I worked for a competitor in prep school. The more PETA gives KFC a hard time, the more often I hit a KFC. I'd say ift's it's good advertising ofr KFC.

The fact that I used to race BMX for pepsi in the 80's and became a stockholder for the once owner of KFC doesn't weigh too heavily. OK, well, maybe because I am also YUM! brands stockholder (WTF, I life growth and cash!) might also have sonething to do with it.

Crap. I really don't care for KFC, but this story means that I have to go try those new "I'm in charge!" chicken wings sometime this weekend.

I guess standing for something means one has to do things that may sometimes cause some inconvenience. But that's life as one with strong opinions, eh? Interestingly, it is possible that this dudes's plight might cause me to discover that I really like KFC's new Buffalo sauce (it was their BBQ sauce that turned me off before)...wouldn't it be a riot if I became a regular of that place because of his name change....hehehe...

Oddly enough, I imagine that I have a lot in common with the nutcase in the story, but he is probably not as mature as I, and will probably not be able to see such similarities.

Nothing even resembling meat at Taco Bell. Fillers, hair, bodily fluids, but no meat.

Guess I need to get a bucket of KFC for New Years eve now.

Yes, like: "What won't some attention-starved idiots do?"

A Chicken Ain't Nothin' But a Bird

Everybody's talkin' about chicken;
Chicken's a popular word.
But anyway you go, you're bound to find
A chicken ain't nothing but a bird.

Some people call it a fowl.
That's the story I've heard.
But let 'em call it this and let 'em call it that,
A chicken ain't nothing but a bird.

You can boil it, roast it, broil it,
Put it in a pan or pot.
Eat it with potatoes, rice or tomatoes,
Chicken is still what you got, boy.

It was a dish for old Caesar,
Also King Henry III.
But Columbus was hip, he said, "take this tip:
A chicken ain't nothing but a bird."

Babe Wallace, 1949
Recorded by Louis Jordan & His Tympani Five,
Decca Records 26463, 1949

Sorry, changing names back is not allowed under section 3.1415926 of the Prevention of Dumbassery Act of 1986.

"Imagine trying to get a gig at Taco Bell with that name."

This is a boy who didn't get enough attention as a toddler. Now, he's a flame-broiled, chicken flippin' McNuggetmuggle.

"I'm sure Chris. . . ."

Sorry, Pam, you have to call him by his new name now.

Whoops! I guess I shouldn't call you "Pam," either. Right, PlasticBoobs.com?
