I Need to Fire My Agent

Hi devoted readers! Did you know that, before I got into the squeak toy/companion business, my lifelong dream was to be an actor? Yep, that's right. This chicken had plans. Like anyone in Chicago who wants to make it someday on the stage or big screen, I studied at the Second City Training Center (I really do have a fowl sense of humor) and hired myself an agent. I had a few small gigs here and there, mostly modeling jobs and holding signs on the side of the road to announce things like mattress sales.


This was the result of one of my modeling gigs

Unfortunately, it's just hard to find work right now. You humans aren't the only ones feeling the pain of the economic downturn. The unemployment rate among rubber chickens is astounding! Once it was clear that acting wasn't working out, I started temping in an office.



I had to quit that job though, the 9-5 business just isn't my thing. That's when I started working at PetSmart, and eventually got my current job with Jude. True story.

Anyway, you can imagine my astonishment to see Burger King's new ad campaign (at least I think it's new?) featuring the Subservient Chicken. Hello, agent? This was the opportunity of a lifetime for chicken actors! And they gave it away to some douche in a chicken suit.


Nice work subservient chicken, I can lay on a couch too!

But the good news is, once this ad campaign is through, that guy will be out of work, but I'll still have Jude and a home. And no one will be dousing me with sweet & sour sauce or turning me into a bad sandwich anytime soon.
