The commercial about the farmer and the chickens may not have been on CNBC. You're not going to thump me are ya? <g> The commercial went something along these lines: A farmer is standing in his chicken house next to an easel with some charts while hundreds of hens surround him. He starts by showing the first placard with a graph showing the decline of egg production by the hens. The hens are gently clucking in a hoe-hum manner to his little pep talk. Then he suggests that if egg production doesn't improve he is going to have to diversify where upon he pulls the graph chart away revealing a picture of a bucket of fried chicken. This gets a very loud bawk, bawk, bawking sound. The commercial is, imo, absolutely histerical. But for the life of me I can't remember who the advertiser was. Also like the "Buy a Ranger, be a ranger for a day" commercial where this guy is dressed up as a forrest ranger standing in front of a black bear and is feeding it. The next scene shows the bear regurgitating upon the ranger. Very funny in my opinion.
