Do I smell chicken?
by Volker Weber
Remember the label?
Know what the last three lines of this tag say? You might have to dust off your high school French ... The last three lines read, "We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We didn't vote for him." Company officials claim they had no idea what the tags said because of the language in which it was written. "No, I didn't have any idea and I wouldn't because I am not in the manufacturing side of things," said Sungra Rose, a spokeswoman for the company. "Now, I just look at it and say, 'OK, there is the logo and made in Port Angeles and all of that,' so I really never read through it." The company says it has a few hundred tags left to use up, and then they will have them re-designed. The president of the company says the joke was on him, not President George W. Bush.

Chicken? I smell something rather more pungent :)

Some say this is a very clever form of viral marketing for the vendor Tom Bihn. A strong proff of concept on how to spread your name via a meme through the internet by using blogs. Well, it's a quite smart way to do so. And it's entertaining ...
