These kinds of restaurants always bothered me–restaurants that have cartoony characters of the food that they serve. So a happy, chuckling pig selling pork barbeque, a cow selling hamburgers, or, yes, a chicken selling, well, chicken.
And it’s even worse if they are wearing a bib with their own species on it. Like wearing a bib of a Red Lobster, who in turn is wearing a bib with a Red Lobster, while eating at Red Lobster.
It also reminds me of an old SNL sketch from a number of years ago–Cluckin Chicken. Here is a HULU link to it.
Raising Cane’s sells chicken strips, but their mascot is a dog!
Brilliant, pig would probably say bite me
Makes about as much sense as a clown selling undercooked meat. I guess that’s the joke.
Reminds me of a package of pork rinds I saw a while back. The bag featured a smiling pig. I think he was supposed to look happy, but he struck me more as looking nervous, bordering on terrified. Pretty disturbing, either way.
That was the plot of the Muppet Movie. Doc Hopper wanting Kermit the Frog to be his spokesfrog for his fried frog legs fast food chain.
Kermit refuses, of course, saying somithing about seeing little frogs hopping around on crutches.

I’m a bit late to the party here, but I just can’t pass up such a perfect opportunity to recommend reading the 5-noose entries at the brilliant Suicide Food blog.
