  1. snoogins says:

    Give me back that chicken head, give me that head

    • Naqamel says:

      This is over 10 years old. Way to stay current, Failblog.

      • GodOfBelgium says:

        why is everyone so shocked. chickennuggets are made from chickens. If you would rather forget that your chickenwings used to be attached to an animal with a head you might want to reconsider your eating habbits

        • logic fail says:

          yea, we eat chicken meat, not head… you wouldn’t be pissed of if your chicken nugget had an eye ball inside?

          • Gustav says:

            Lots of people eat eyeballs. Maybe you need to learn a bit about the world.

            • yourareall idiots says:

              God of Belgium is a freaking hippy. are you serious? how can you even compare eating a chicken head to any other part of the chicken. Maybe you should stay off the internet. the power required to run your computer is causing pollution and ruining the world. Just go dig yourself a hole in the ground and live in it. That way when you die, no one will have to go through the trouble of burying you.

              • GodOfBelgium says:

                yadda ya…, don’t you have some linching to do somewhere?

                • Jinny says:

                  The biggest problem with a chicken head is the fact that human teeth aren’t really meant to crunch bones the same way a cat does, especially since even cats have a hard time with cooked bones.
                  Sure people eat the eyes, the brain, the tongue, etc, but not all together like a chicken nugget.
                  Oh and also, a lot of people who go to McDonalds don’t think about the fact that, oh guess what, they’re eating animals! (I’ve met quite a few, surprisingly) silly people…

              • n888 says:

                yourareall idiots, I’m sorry, but I must inquire — you rear all idiots? or do you prefer your idiots rare? Or are we all just little dots to you?? Well, whichever way we’d like to look at this, you are the epitome of numbnuts! Do us all a favor and get a grip and some extensive therapy, before you blow a valve!!! or at least just have a fap whilst you choke yourself…..

            • another logic fail says:

              again, you are ordering chicken meat, not anything else. people eat eyeballs, if they want to eat eyeballs, not my mistake. seriously do i need to explain everything to you?

        • Amy says:

          And the reason I don’t eat anything that used to have a face…or a head for that matter.

      • Kevin T. says:

        If you think this is bad, today Graphjam has yet ANOTHER graph that looks like Pac-Man.

        I think all the sites owned by Pet Holdings, Inc. assume the people that go to them only visit them once a week, so they can get away with showing old things again and again. And most of the time, they’re right.

      • Prune says:

        Who cares, it’s classic!

    • 3dham says:

      Since when did McDonald’s ever sell chicken wings?

      • tahrey says:

        Exactly. I’m pretty sure last time I heard about this – indeed probably sometime around 99 or 2000, its not as old as the internet but it was around for web 1.5 – it was KFC, who use quite a bit more solid parts of the animal rather than McD’s tendancy towards MRM slurry… or at least, their tendancy at the time (having since made a big song and dance about only using whole breast meat after quietly switching to it). Could be that the video itself isn’t so old and they were just very late to the game.

        Local news, getting things wrong or trusting an innaccurate or badly out of date source? No, never :p

        • Private Joker says:

          you’re an idiot. the internet is 40+ years old.

          • bee says:

            no your an idiot. the internet is around 26 years old,, what you are refering to is the internets predecessor ARPAnet,

          • Cliff says:

            Private Joker, Need I remind you that when it comes to matters regarding the Internet, we do well to trust the opinion of the rival who spells the contraction of *you are* without an apostrophe or final “e”? I mean, we’re talking about the Internet, here!

        • D: says:

          the video is, in fact, from the late 90s-early 2000s.

      • YouGotTold says:

        thats my question, when da dhell did they start selling chicken wings?

      • Hahahaha that was exactly my first thought

      • Sharkie912 says:

        Yes they did… they were called mighty wings and they were discontinued. it was probably stopped long before u were born >:I ask your mother she might know

      • Buttercup says:

        That’s what I was thinking! LOL I work there and we don’t sell them…

  2. Cloral says:

    That end comment was a bit racist, don’t you think?

    • ...never will tell ya says:

      not rly racist. nasty chicken head though.

    • Mike says:

      I’m not sure that “racist” is quite the word I’d use. I mean… have you been to any large Asian markets? You can get anything there. Any part of any animal that most Americans would not initially think of consuming. The pickled sheep’s uteruses really stand out in my mind.

      • Serve that up with some rocky mountain oysters and you’ve got one disturbing dish.

        • Bradley D. says:

          I think it’s borderline racist – it’s meant to fit into that same category of racist notions about Chinese food that suggest stray dogs & cats or vermin (e.g. rats) end up in Chinese food as a matter of course.

          • Girlysprite says:

            Well, FYI, Chinese people do serve all of the animal when ordering a bird. Head is always included. I’ve been over there, have ordered pigeon and duck, and both came with head still on.

      • Amy says:

        They wouldn’t THINK of consuming, but consume unknowingly. Think about it. What exactly is in hot dogs and bologna and all the other things that Americans go hog wild over. Really. Ask yourselves one thing…why don’t farmers eat hot dogs? To think that you are ONLY eating what you think you are eating based on someone elses description of what it is SUPPOSED to be shows how naive some people really are. Fast food joints are left with, well, the “leftovers”…the bits that nobody else wants. Sure, it may be breast meat, but it’s the parts of it that others have turned down or are from the sickliest of animals.

        • d says:

          sorry you never eat anything with eyeballs amy? how are you still alive? do you eat grass or anything grown from the earth?

    • chineseguynumber1000000004 says:

      completely agree

    • karm says:

      No it’s not to me…If it was a cat’s head maybe!!!

  3. Howitzer says:

    I don’t find this fail funny.

  4. Admiral Apparent says:

    Wattle they think of next?!

  5. ...never will tell ya says:

    lol. “chinatown mcd”

  6. Lame Micky D's says:

    Simply Lame.

  7. Admiral Apparent says:

    MOOMIN AGAIN! He’s got moomintum!

    *pops the champagne*

  8. Cloral says:

    Another example of why I don’t eat at McCrapolino’s.

    …most of the time. I will admit that I still like their fries.

  9. rivers says:

    At least we know that McDonald’s uses real chicken. In my book that is a win.

  10. Porsche says:

    Where’s the fail?

  11. pooman says:

    This is old and fake. So it’s not a fail by McDonalds it’s actually a fail by the person trying to scam McDonalds in a lawsuit.

  12. patrick says:

    Cloral, you are right on.

    That was my immediate thought, and although it might be ironic, or even true, the end is disgraceful and unncessary.

    Just this week, an Italian court found Google and a few of its executives guilty of allowing a video of a boy with down syndrome being picked on and humiliated by classmates stay on their server.

    I am directly asking that failblog win here and remove this disgraceful post.

    How about even just modify the last line to state how shocked we are that the genetically modified chickens actually look like real chickens…

    But yes, the last comment is racist.
    It is taking a racial stereotype and making a joke of it.
    While there might not have been a direct intention of being directly hateful, the comment is blatantly inappropriate.

    So again, I ask that failblog remove the post, or at very least, the last comment.

    • shonuff says:

      …are you going to attempt to sue Failblog now??

      • patrick says:

        Nah, I was going to skip and go for the idiots like you who are asking stupid questions.

        I am only pointing out that what was posted was inappropriate, and making a simple, direct, non-threatening request that the comment be removed.

        • mighty mister mushy man says:

          Ehhh I think you’re overreacting. I don’t see anything demeaning in that comment. They could, however, remove it due to the fact that it isn’t funny. I’d be okay with that.

          • Admiral Apparent says:

            It plays on a stereotype. Just because you do not see anything demeaning in it does not negate the feelings of others who do.

            • Admiral Apparent says:

              Nobody decided that, and as far as I can see, that argument hasn’t been made. Nice try, though.

            • mighty mister mushy man says:

              Yes, that’s certainly true.

              And for the record I don’t share steve’s view or his dazzling way with words.

              However, everyone has to use their own discretion. In the last fail, people were poking fun at police, using the donuts stereotype- nobody seemed to care. In the fail before that, people were making comments that could be considered “ageist”- no big deal. To condemn this comment over those uses of stereotypes is overkill in my opinion.

              • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista says:

                Here, here! Well said! Boy, you sure have a way with words, lil’ mush-meister! :D

              • Little Girl Blue >ZAP!< Dot Org - Marius's Sista From Another Mista says:

                *standing ovation*

                You silver-tonguedgilled mushroom, you! :D

              • Admiral Apparent says:

                People will react to stereotype abuse based on their own background and sensibilities. The matters of choice, heritage, and exclusion play a part of the offensive nature of stereotypes. We all grow old. People choose a career in law enforcement. Those standards are different than a ethnic stereotype.

                I tend to agree with you on this case, but I would NOT presume to dismiss someone’s feelings on this as overreacting.

                • Dragonwriter says:

                  Agreed. Different people have different hot-button issues…but it really isn’t up to me to tell people how they should feel or react, or that they should feel and react like I do.

                  • mighty mister mushy man says:

                    This is a good debate.

                    On the one hand we can look at it as telling people how they should react or dismissing someone’s feelings. On the other hand, I think it can be seen as providing some insight or a difference of opinion that may influence someone in a positive way.

                    I’d encourage someone who finds the Chinatown comment offensive to look at it in as saying “Maybe it was a McD’s in Chinatown because that is where you’re likely to find chicken heads that are prepared as food.” Much like if someone found a hamburger in their chicken head order, well, maybe it was an American restaurant. Still a dumb joke, but it doesn’t imply that all Americans eat hamburgers or that there is anything wrong with eating hamburgers -just that America is where you find them.

                    I think it’s important for people to share their opinions and views on things like this as long as it is done respectfully.

                    I don’t agree, however, that stereotyping someone based on their age or career or hairstyle or whatever is any less offensive than doing so based on their ethnicity. Your choices combine with your ethnicity and your heritage and everything else about you to form your identity. And your identity is what is harmed by prejudice.

                    • Admiral Apparent says:

                      I honestly don’t know if I would find chicken heads prepared as food in Chinatown if I went looking for them. I’ve been to Chinatowns in several major American cities, including San Francisco. I’ve seen some exotic preparations…I don’t ever recall seeing chicken heads except attached to chickens. It’s a leap I’m not going to take based on a stereotype. That’s the danger, isn’t it? What are we willing to accept about a culture in general without scrutiny?

                      You voiced an opinion that someone else was overreacting. It doesn’t matter that you can articulate a point of view in which the Chinatown comment is not offensive to you. The other person may not share your point of view. There’s no either/or here.

                      I didn’t say stereotyping based on age or career is less offensive, just that the standards regarding the humo(u)r value are different. It’s possible to make a totally hurtful comment based on age. It is also possible to make a joke that appears to be offensive to the elderly, but is subtlety worded to be a commentary on a universal condition.

                      • I like your style, AA. I guess I would like to have heard more of Patrick’s point of view as to why he thought it was racist and less of the “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this comment” speech.

                        A clickie for you, sir.

                        • patrick says:

                          Interesting a viable debate can be had on a joke website. I understand and appreciate any and all of the well-intended opinions.

                          I also think it is important to state that I am not directly offended by this comment. I am not of Asian descent, or not that I am aware of at least.

                          I also did not intend for this to be a ‘deal’ per-se, and was definitely not attempting a Ronald Regan impression. I was simply, and directly stating that the last comment went, in my opinion, beyond humor and crossed the line into inappropriate territory.

                          And not directly because implying an Asian might fry or eat a chicken head, but because it is such a grossly over used stereotype.

                          It reminds me of a few years back, there was a national incident, and almost 10 years later, is still spoken of in our every day lives. And I remember a certain restaurant that serves food that might or might not have been consumed by people who were of the same sub-region of a certain continent had their front window smashed in. Because aparantly the smasher thought all Falafel and Gyro restaurants were owned by Freedom Hating Muslims. But what the smasher did not understand, was that this Iranian is actually a follower of Zoroaster, and did not think that Jihad was the answer.

                          So accuse me of using a poor, broad, general excuse that this type of comment can open a door to more delicate or offensive comments, but if people were more conscience of how their words and comments affect the people their words and comments are directed towards, many problems could be avoided.

                          So yeah, ha ha. Joke is on me for being sensitive. Ha ha. That is such a horrible quality in a person. But one thing that I am certain of, and that is that my integrity is still intact.

                          Rant is now complete, now prove how worthless of a human being you and proceed with the ridicule.

                        • mighty mister mushy man says:

                          I really don’t think it’s such a “grossly overused” stereotype. Maybe if you explain it, I might get what you mean.

                          The example you used as what that comment “reminds you of” is way on the opposite side of the spectrum. It’s like saying a schoolyard fight reminds me of the Civil War. Why the exaggeration?

                          The last two paragraphs of your “rant” really don’t need to be there, so I won’t comment further on them.

    • Boogies says:

      Debbie downer, it was funny, and not really racist since they sell chicken heads in Chinatown here. Truth hurts

      • C says:

        On the contrary, chicken head is there only (for free) if you ordered the “whole” chicken. No one expects you to eat it. Perhaps missing a head (beginning) is bad karma as with missing a tail (end) and shopkeeper cares about your daily life.

    • steve says:

      pluck you, mother plucker

  13. bubba says:

    hey failblog leave the comments to us, your “jokes” are horrible…

  14. shonuff says:

    This is fake.. and old.

  15. yelziap says:

    i didnt know oprah did the news…

  16. Loupy says:

    …OMG, that’s one of my local news reporters. Dude. Scary chicken heads in my McD’s meals. ..Except I don’t go to McD’s. Truth of fiction of this case is irrevelent, because I go to Rally’s (or Checkers)

  17. Miss Priss says:

    Now see, I would have kept that. It’s not every day you come across a fried chicken head in McDonalds. And I disagree: That comment was not racist by any means: A chicken head can be white, black, hispanic, asian….it has nothing to do with color. You may only hear the term used among the black community, but it is not a racial term.

  18. god++ says:

    And they said McNuggets weren’t made with real chicken. HAH!!!

  19. Miss Priss says:

    And the part about Chinatown isn’t racist, either. I have lived in Japan and they serve Teriyaki McBurgers there. We probably could find a fried chicken head at a McDonalds in China. Who knows?

  20. Noremac says:

    Oddly enough (I live in Arkansas BTW) I saw a live chicken walking through the McDonalds drive through when I was a kid maybe 15 years ago.

  21. mighty mister mushy man says:

    Fail Blog is a ghost town this afternoon.

    Does this mean I’m actually going to have to do work?

  22. Sluggo says:

    It’s edible…just try to ignore the really crunchy bits.

  23. Cloral says:

    You can eat it in the thyroid room!

  24. Unicon says:

    Thats why BurgerKing is better them MC!!!

  25. dr.adrian says:

    Man, those moomin comments suck, completely superfluous, unfunny. What next? “Wowzers, that’s unusual!” and “That’s strange!”… OH THE HILARITY AND INSIGHT :|

  28. nick says:

    at least we know that chicken is real hahaha

  29. Molly the Ghost says:

    the claim is still funnier than your comments
    boredom FAIL

  30. GuLk says:

    I was almost sure it was KFC.

  31. Avis says:

    I have a rubber chicken, and it doesn’t look like that. I don’t think it would look like that even if I tried to fry it.

    It was for a halloween costume
  32. Blangadanger says:

    For a second I thought the fail was for the hairstyle. Is it a hat? How old is this?

  33. Avis says:

    The reporter in the video.

  34. Avis says:

    Seems like there might not be much of a market for such a novelty toy. But, who knows? Maybe there is!

    That’s my local news station!

  40. Shoop says:

    Mm… chicken..

  41. stix213 says:

    Ah ha!!! Proof they use real chickens!

  42. Shoop says:

    Swedish food restaurants have fresh chicken heads. Heck, we don’t even cook out food at all.

  43. BAReFOOt says:

    First rule of buying food: Never buy something that is not a single natural raw piece of meat or a plant.
    Especially not if it has got some batter around it or lies in a marinade.

    Preparation is something done at home. And cooking is something that professionals only do as much as absolutely needed, and as little as possible. (With regard to temperature. Not to time. Look up “slow cooking”.)

  44. john says:

    Ok I never comment here but this is so old I had that chicken head picture as the wallpaper on my Compaq Presario circa 1999. Still a fail I suppose, although I think it turned out to be a hoax.

  45. Dirk says:

    Its fake because during the making of this junk food no chicken parts in it’s actual form are used.

  46. Ms B ♥ says:

    No, we are all illiterate.

    Not really a fail – just news. Wobbish!

    omg! this one just made me sick! i mean sure its a definite fail but still!

  49. hans says:

    Oh, very funny, a dead animal fried. Would you laugh more about it if it where a human head?…

  50. Bobbybobbobrobert says:

    Seriously, did anyone not know chicken nuggets are made of chicken? if you can cope with eating meat, you should also be able to cope with seeing what it looks like in its natural form…

  51. paul says:

    so it IS real chicken!

  52. forge says:

    See, nobody’s got anything to worry about ‘cuz that was a problem with McWings and McD’s hasn’t sold those in TEN YEARS. And there are so many manufacturing steps between raw bird and McNugget that you certainly needn’t worry about finding anything identifiable in THOSE.

  53. Ben says:

    I hadn’t been to mcdonalds for anything but breakfast in 8 years. I had forgotten why. Last week I had some mcnuggets. Now you’ve reminded me why I avoid them. You’ve reminded me of the Chicken McNoggin.

  54. Joe says:

    Well its good to know they really do use real chicken. lol. Come on folks seriously???

  55. joemama says:

    wow thats my local news….

  56. TJN says:

    that was 10 years ago

  57. Kaeli says:

    Do you people realize what this means? It means chicken nuggets are actually made out of chicken! What a concept!

  58. Hasbro says:

    That’s probably the most real chicken that’s ever been in an order of McNuggets.

  59. awareness says:

    im actually extremely impressed by this. Now I can eat McNuggets with confidence that it is real chicken..

  62. ashiiya says:

    Haha no such thing happens at the mcds I go to, although it’d be awesome if it did, I’d have every right to get their money XDD but seriously, this is pretty old news, but it’s still something that happens today. Even after knowing all this disgusting stuff that happens during production, I still eat it, I just don’t care xD

    And since when do they sell chicken WINGS? I think it’s nuggets, lady =__=;;

  63. C says:

    Not bashing on the Chinatown comment, but can you people please stop associating all of ugly with Chinese? Starbucks in Chinatown is no “Chinese” coffee, McD in Chinatown is no “Chinese burger”. Crime rate in Chinatown does NOT come from people in Chinatown. No Chinamen (delete English add China) ever loves chopsuey just as no native Italian ever likes pizza from Dominos. Chinese never waste all edible parts of a poultry. Chinese never take fried rice with soda. Chinese never carry fake LVs never fake Rolex, and they are GOOD at telling the fake from the real…Seriously trash that damn GTA Chinatown Wars and pay these peaceful folks a visit.

  64. moli says:

    yeah, eating wings is much better than eating heads!
