Check out www.subservientchicken.com

What a strange thing to have, type in a command and the chicken complies (with most of them) try 'taco bell' for a start, it looks like it's powerd by Burger King their logo shows up before the site downloads.

Just seen the link to the Burger King website, is this the way forward in advertising?

Lmao!!!

We spent ages making it play air guitar and walk like an egyptian!!

Try typing in "have a tantrum!!"

Any other good commands?

Oh and btw, why is it wearing suspenders? :loopy:

A friend sent me the link a week or so ago and I'll admit to being mildly perplexed ever since!

I just couldn't get my head round the whole (hilarious) concept. (Guess I'm a natural born sceptic!)

I told it to 'fly' and 'leave the room' (it came back though)

The suspenders confused me aswell:confused: :loopy: :o

I asked the chicken to "do the twist" and " rolly polly" is interesting, then I gave it a break and let it read a book and watch TV!

We just got it to do a cartwheel!!!

If you type something rude it comes to the camera and wags its finger at you lol!!!

Sorry but this is soooooooo funny depending on how perverse your sense of humour is!!

How the hell does that work?

Is it a real live webcam with hundreds of people in there front rooms dressed in chicken suits waiting to be contacted?

Or is it just a server full of activities and it pulls one up when you type it in?

Baffled me, come on you geeks tell me how its done

Yeah, it's all pre-recorded and there's just a server that recorgnises commands. I spent ages trying to get it to sit on the television before I realised it was just recorgnising the word sit.

Tell it to do the Riverdance, that's a funny one. Or the YMCA.

Damn. It won't load on my comp. Was looking forward to controling a chicken for a few minutes!

I tried to think of something that would baffle it, so i told it to take all the cushions off the sofa, guess what?

Bloody bird did it!:loopy:

How the heck could your program something that did so many things? Surely it would have taken weeks to record all the weird and wonderful commands people give it.

Mikey how weird I told it the same thing and it got on the sofa and bounced up and down!!:D

I must have phrased it differently and baffled it.

boxing, karate and score a goal worked a treat. Also get it to do weight lifting, it never stops. Also 'find a friend' has it running all over the place!

You can get it to mosh, I tried to get it to play cricket and it just seemed to flap it's arms about (standard England cricket procedure).:thumbsup:

Every command is listed here:

http://www.xeni.net/images/bb/clipData.html

Everything on one line (next to each number) makes it do the same thing, (i.e. stand, wait ,stay,default,inactive all do the same)

The links no longer work, though.
