TALLADEGA, Ala. (AP) — PETA is taking on what it describes as a new affront to animals: NASCAR fans doing the chicken dance.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals asked Guinness World Records Inc. on Monday to ignore an attempt to set a world record for the largest group chicken dance at the Talladega Superspeedway, site of the Aaron's 499 race on Sunday.
The reason? KFC is the sponsor of the record attempt, and the animal rights group says the fast-food company is cruel to chickens.
A KFC spokesman defended the company's treatment of animals and said it hoped to get 125,000 race fans involved in the mass dance.

A KFC spokesman defended the company's treatment of animals I must confess, their treatment of animals is rather tasty.

Just another free marketing SCAM from PETA. Hey, at least they didn’t invoke the name of Hitler!

Even if for idiotic reasons, for once PETA is doing something good. Stopping the dumbest looking dance ever invented may save these people from the time when their grandchildren look at the pictures, and think what utter dorks were grandma and grandpa.

KFC chicken is bad, real bad.
That being said I’ll pick up a bucket on the way home and feed the local cats.
Anybody that pisses PETA off is worth my support.

“feed the local cats”
I have weird cats. They will pester the dickens out of me when I’m eating fried chicken, but if offered any they simply turn up their noses and walk off.
Be sure to take out the small bones if you do.

...Guess they have never heard of the “Chicken-Bone Seats” at a NASCAR track, have they?
