do
you
remember
the
subservient
chicken
?
he
was
the
costumed
character
behind
one
of
the
first
successful
viral
marketing campaigns.
don't
tell
me
a
man
in
a
cumbersome
suit
didn't
spend
his
days
in
a
catatonic
state
waiting
for
strangers
on
the
internet
to
give
him
life
,
and
that
there
was
only
ever
a
pile
of
prerecorded
clips
designed
to
create
the
illusion
of
an
exchange
.
i
know
what
i
saw
.
i
made
that
counterfeit domesticated fowl
dance
and
die
and
try
to
fly
.
i
had
him
on
a
string
.
the
one
thing
he
wouldn't
do
was
talk
to
me
.
i
asked
him
what
love
was
and
he
stared
at
the
screen
,
thinking
of
the
half
-human hen
who
got
away
.
though
the
video
feed
has
gone
dark
,
i'd
be
willing
to
bet
he's
still
standing
there
, bartering
with
alectryon
to
bring
her
back
somehow
.
