This HAS to be a joke...

But it doesn't look like it. How on earth can you tell?



"Clothing for chickens
A range of fashion clothing for chickens has been launched by a group of designers working in Austria and Japan. ...
Several farmers have already had chicken suits with the name of their farm ordered and many advertisers have enquired about the possibility of having sponsored suits promoting everything from KFC to chicken soup."

Now seriously, is this for real? I mean, I wouldn't put ANY advertising ploy past KFC, but this is ridiculous.
If this is true, then what next!?

I found several stories about it. But when would chickens be wearing the clothing, and who would see them?

And who exactly is going to take the time to put clothes on chickens anyway?

I mean okay I can see someone who keeps chickens as pets ... If I had enough land and didn't have a home owners association I'd take in the little chicks who are bought for Easter and then become homeless ... putting clothes on their chickens. I mean look at what people buy for their dogs.

But would that really be enough people to make this business venture pay off?

And what chicken producer is going to invest the time and manpower to dress their chickens?

Crazy.

Some people have way too much time on their hands.

I got the impression that they would only be dressed up for a commercial or advertising photo shoot...and then off to the bucket they'd probably go.
