The Philadelphia Chicken Man

Initially, the plan was to eat some 30 chickens for a month, but as he saw his online following growing he went on. He published leaflets around the city inviting every person to join him as he ate his last bird. (" Come enjoy me consume a whole rotisserie chicken," the just-the-facts design posters review. "The poultry will be taken in on the deserted pier near Walmart. This is not an event."
