the much awaited AP story!
NEW YORK (AP) -- New York City's transit agency is investigating a video posted online that shows a man kissing and snuggling a live chicken aboard a subway.
The subway rider who took the video said Thursday that it was one of those New York moments she felt compelled to record.
Kylie Kaiser, a 27-year-old architect from Brooklyn, and two friends boarded the uptown No. 6 train at the 33rd Street station at around 7 p.m. Tuesday.
"He was on his back, rolling from side to side, kissing, hugging and lifting the chicken up in the air," she said.
She said the man was oblivious to everything around him and didn't respond to onlookers.
"It was definitely an only-in-New-York situation," said Kaiser, who moved to the city about three years ago from Murfreesboro, Tenn.
Kaiser said the man looked like he was homeless because he had a shopping cart next to him full of cans and was wearing a shirt with an MTA patch that "looked like he had found it somewhere."
NYC Transit spokesman Charles Seaton said no passengers reported the incident. He said only service animals and those in containers are permitted in the subway system.
Kaiser took video and photos with her Blackberry, got off at the 68th Street stop with the man still on the train and later posted video and photos on her blog. The post was picked up by Gothamist, a local blog network, and others.
"I knew it would be a story people would want to hear," she said. (via)

RIP J.D. Salinger
UPDATE: yeah who thought the J.D. Salinger RIP post would be getting an update... beloved american treasure to be mourned by all, excluding bret easton ellis.
i can never seem to finish your interminable masterpiece, but still sad to see you go i guess. seriously, ive tried to read it on four separate occasions and i just stop and never resume.
i hope this story doesnt kick chicken on 6 out of the news.
newsflash, memphis is cool
the new york times sent some lowly reporter to memphis, and she can barely conceal her disdain.
me too, melena.
read the article if you want, or read my recap here : memphis... the people are friendly and trashy, you're screwed if you don't want beer, i hope you like shitty bands.
missing the point
the damn liberal media is harping on is this footage of justice samuel alito mouthing "not true" and shaking his head when obama accuses the supreme court of allowing undue influence of special interest corporate money.
they are missing the point. take a look at the front row and tell me that ruth bader ginsberg isnt stealing the spotlight from every person in the room. i for one can't see anyone else except for her.
hey joint chiefs, excited about DADT repeal?
oh hells yeah.
which one of those dudes do you think is not telling, and which ones are not asking...
streaming The Knife
their latest album is streaming on the internet right now if you have the time and the inclination to listen.
i have both.
RIP howard zinn ;*(
he wrote a people's history of the united states, in which he convinced everyone that christopher columbus was a murderous jerk that deserves to be hated for eternity. indian killer. anyway, RIP.
