I knew pretty much anything could be canned, but a whole chicken? I never thought I would see such a thing and to be able to buy it on Amazon amazes me as well. On to the post…

Having trouble finding a Father’s Day gift this year? I know I am! Well I know if your Father is anything like mine he loves to eat in general but really loves to eat chicken. I thought about getting him a KFC gift card (not really) but this just doesn’t seem good enough to me. So I came across the Sweet Sue Whole Chicken in a Can! The great part about this is, it will never expire like the gift card and he can eat it anytime he wants. Even 10 years later! Well, I don’t know about that but isn’t canned stuff supposed to last a long time?

Here is a quote from the site about the great product:

“A slippery Steal”

“At $49.99 you can’t go wrong. Where else can you find a whole chicken that comes with it’s own vaseline for non-stick oven action? Every can comes with it’s own bonus surprise. I was fortunate enough to find the head of the chicken still attached in my can. The beak came in handy for a crunchy treat after dinner. A friend found mature eggs in her chicken, kids had egg sandwiches the following morning.Take advantage and order Sweet Sue Whole Chicken in a Can before this low priced offer expires or you just might end up paying regular price $129.99.”

This has to be a joke, or I hope it is. I am surprised that Amazon would keep such a product on their site with the funny/disturbing comments and not to mention the pictures! Nasty! Do they not moderate their comments or user submitted photos? If you go to the user submitted photos look at the last one, it is a cop with a quote under it saying, “Make Every Day count”. What is that about (its pretty funny though)!

Personally, I find this really disgusting/funny/disturbing in a way because just look at it. I will warn you the user submitted photos on the site are pretty nasty and I hope that isn’t how it really looks! I still can’t believe this is real and not a joke. If anyone actually purchases one of these let me know how that goes!

cloned-calves-cows Would Americans be interested in cloned meat? The advantage would be that they would get the absolute best quality for the money paid. Imagine the most succulent and flavorful piece of stake, being replicated and served to consumers. The FDA gave their approval for milk and meat from cloned animals to be served in the US, but this is far from becoming a reality any time soon.

"The food in every respect is indistinguishable from food from any other animal," FDA Food-Safety Chief Dr. Stephen Sundlof told reporters on Jan. 15. "It is beyond our imagination to even find a theory that would cause the food to be unsafe."

You get to see the papers exactly how they were then, and you might not be able to read everything as they’re scanned newspapers and they’re not all in top condition.

Enjoy!

Apparently these talks made Google’s stock go over $700 today. I’m pretty curious to see where all this is heading. A GPhone or a Google OS for mobile phones. Free calls in exchange of receiving text ads? The mobile operating system seams to have the best odds right now, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Two more weeks and all the hype that’s been building up in the last year will finally come to an end. Better late then never I guess.

Just read a fiction story written by Cory Doctorow, about Google and it’s increasing knowledge of our lives. From email, search, docs and soon going into social networking, Google can see a much bigger part of your life then you think. Every move you make online can be tracked if they wished so, as many sites out there use either Google Adsense or Google Analytics tracking codes.

Anyway, head on to Radar Online and check out Scroogled.
