Only in New York

If New York City took a shit, you’d get Toronto, Canada, and while I’ve never been to NYC, I have lived in its poop for the past seven years and traveled the subways on a daily basis. I’ve seen a lot of crazy stuff, but nothing, and I mean nothing, beats this one from the Big Apple.

I should note that I love chicken. Fried chicken, grilled chicken, chicken and waffles, stuffed chicken and chicken with a biscuit — I love it all. I don’t love it enough, though, to play with one on the subway like this dude. Seriously, kissing and hugging your chicken on the subway? While it’s still clucking! WTF?

Kylie Kaiser, an architect from Brooklyn, shot this footage of a man on the No. 6 train at 33rd Street station, who was frolicking with his bird in front of passengers who were too shocked to do or say anything. Imagine, you get on the train to go to work and there he is, rolling around on the floor with a chicken. A freakin’ chicken, man! What’s crazy, is that his feathered friend seemed to like it. Notice how he lets go of his bird for a few moments and it just sits there, chilling out on his chest. That’s one obedient cock.

A transit spokesman said that no one reported the incident, and that only service animals and those in containers are permitted on the subway system. So yeah, they’re looking into it.

Perhaps even more intriguing, is that Fashion Indie is reporting that this ‘guy’ was actually a woman, acting out a scene from her favorite movie, Borat. Double WTF? Whose favorite movie if Borat? I give up.

It’s stuff like this that makes me want to go to New York City. While I’ve never seen anything like chicken man on the Toronto transit system, I did see an Asian guy looking at his reflection once, and yelling, “WAZZUP!” for 45-minutes.

Somehow that doesn’t compare.
