Subservient Chicken: BK online ad campaign that right now allows you, the random web surfer, to instruct a full-grown person in a very elaborate chicken outfit to do, well, more or less anything.
Really.
Here’s a MeFi thread which keeps track of what the Chicken will and won’t do. The thread also includes anecdotal evidence that the Chicken is a collection of looped video actions tied to keywords. A monkey dissected it, provding further evidence for that line of reasoning.
Is this Sars the Chicken?
Holy cow, you hit it. Sars the chicken. That is genius. You, Mike, have tied the loose ends together. Fascinating.
A bit of background, from what I’ve pieced together (graffiti watching in Seattle is an obsession of mine):
SARS started showing up in Fremont in August, from what I saw. In September or so, the other local prolific/clever graffiti people (Desk/Bike, 1+1=3, The Bald Man) starting moving downtown and to Belltown, and SARS came too. They’ve since been moving slowly up into Capitol Hill.
So SARS has been going for a relatively long time in the graffiti world, pretty much since Neckface became the face to know in New York.
Or, at least, this is what I have figured out.
