You probably already been there, but for those who haven't yet:

...the interactive Burger King site, type in a command and make chicken do things.

I made it:

1. Pray for world peace
2. Eat a McDonald's hamburger (it spit out chunks at me, I think)
3. Fly to the moon
4. Rearrange the furniture (bounced up and down on a sofa)
5. Be nice to a neighbor (nothing happened)
6. Turn out all the lights (came back on)
7. Turn into an egg (it sort of did)

What if you say "disappear"??

What could you say that the programmer didn't think of? Become two chickens?

Whenever i say something rude he just comes up and says "NO" while waving his finger at the camera. This site is pretty crap, if it was a live show not a flash movie it would be much more interesting.

Yeah, I told him to strip and he did that (the shaking finger thing). He'll bend over if you tell him to, though. I don't know what he's doing when you tell him to [uhhhhhh, yeah] off, but he apparently doesn't consider that rude. And he apparently thinks laying an egg and frying an egg are the same thing. I thought he might get pretty mad if I told him to cook up a nice omelet with his offspring... but nope.

They keep changing it. It used to be standing there in middle of room when you first when to the site. The last time I went there the chicken was real close to the camera for some reason.

They must be varying its presentation to keep it interesting.

I told it to "vote for the president" and it did a series of jazzercise routines or something.

I told it to "disobey this command" and it just stood there.

I told it to "do anything you want" and it just stood there.

I told it to "destroy the room you are in" and it just ran around pseudo-violently.

I told it to "get sick" and it puked behind the sofa.

I told it to "find Osama bin Laden" and the unpatriotic jerk just stood there.

Subservient Chicken: YOU'RE FIRED!!!!!!!!!

Whiskas: go to Wired News, type in "subservient chicken" in site search text entry box, arrive at article "Porno Hen Hawks for Burger King," then look in body copy for hypertext link "track" (as in tracking commands given to subservient chicken), click on it, go to a wiki site that is tracking the commands people give to this submissive chicken.

The wiki site tracks what it will do and what it won't do.

I would give you the direct URL but it's a long query string that burns the retinas, you know.

It seems to do different things on the same commands when I go back a few days later. Weird. Like command "vote for the president" it didn't do jazzercises the second time I typed in this command. Is it developing an artificial intelligence, a mind of its own?
