[Stiggers] Controlling the Masses

Cockeyed Chicken Lady: "I'm your former spokesperson for Cockeyed Chicken here to inform the Ghetto Science community about my resignation from Cockeyed Chicken Inc. During my three years as spokesperson for Cockeyed Chicken, I studied and learned a lot about marketing techniques used to convince consumers in the Ghetto Science community to buy and eat Cockeyed Chicken.

"I discovered that the Cockeyed Chicken marketing team employs a 'demographic profile' as part of their marketing strategy based on age, gender, income level, race and ethnicity. I wondered if entities such as government, law enforcement, education and entertainment use "demographic profiling" as a method to control the masses. I believe they do. And I unknowingly participated in this process by allowing Cockeyed Chicken to use my image to appeal to the financially challenged demographic.

"A couple of weeks ago, I promoted Cockeyed Chicken's $4.99 mid-week special for the '10 Piece Family Affair Meal.' Legions of financially challenged customers stood in line at several Cockeyed Chicken franchises to take advantage of such a good deal. The result of the demographic study is that poor folk love that Cockeyed Chicken.

"Perhaps the $4.99 mid-week special is another market-research project for some extreme political party looking to attract or deter a new group of voters. Again, we're victims and spectators all at the same time.

"Therefore, I must use my new-found knowledge to teach the people to think critically. This press conference announcing my resignation from Cockeyed Chicken Inc. is just the beginning."
