Ever wish for a pet that not only did tricks, but also had a sense of humor? Thanks to Burger King, you can now "have it your way."

This appears to only work in Internet Explorer, and I'm guessing it will be pretty slow for dial-up users. But it's fun. Tell the chicken to "wiggle tail" or "throw pillows" and I think you'll get the idea pretty quickly.

"watch tv"

"read book"

"turn out lights"

"hug pillow"

and, of course, the classic pet tricks

"sleep," "sit," and "roll over"

i was impressed that he knew the difference between "jump one foot" and "jump on one foot"

sadly, it didn't take long for me to ask him to do something that earned me a "no-no"

You Ron, are not going to fool me, no way! That is you in the chicken suit right? It won't do a damn thing I tell it to, doesn't listen, or respond to me, so that clinched the fact right there! However you do tap dance well.

Christoper, I managed to get his disapproval too, LOL.

He gets kind of confused as to left and right. I asked him to raise "his" left arm, then right and he raised both together. Silly boid! However I think it is a great marketing tool, for they are getting the email of every single person that tries it, into the demographic database

Is that right Ron?

Of course I have to wonder just how it's done.

Several identical rooms with just as many chickens all dressed alike?

I mean..many many people are clicking into this at the same time I do. I have had three people on the phone all asking it to do different things at the same time and he/she/the chicken does it..

So, will someone enlighted me?

And how come my chicken is always on the couch sleeping when I first go in there??

I know, it's done with mirrors right?

That's pretty amazing how someone put that together. They imagined, literally, everything that would come to mind to someone who got on the website and programmed the chicken to do exactly that. Whether it be good, bad, nasty or funny. From dancing to just standing etc. From innocent to inappropriate....

and being on this website with all of you.......lol

I am NOW convinced its Ron who programmed it and is in the chicken suit.
