WTF Popeyes?



Have you seen the new Popeyes commercial for "rippin' chicken"? 

Pause let's rewind a bit. YES I am blogging about Fried Chicken!  Let's make that clear!

So I'm sitting on the couch and this commercial comes on advertising "rippin chicken" ... Now I don't know about yaw but my life has been spent as a fried chicken connoisseur and for me Popeyes is pretty top of the pops (I'll tell you my #1 favorite spot later) 

It was just this evening that I was innocently driving home thinking about the yummy broccoli I was going to eat for dinner when the scent of Popeyes from the LaBrea and Centinela  location slapped me in the face trying to deter my weight loss goals with the spokeswoman's voice in my head telling me to head on over to get one of her shrimp baskets but my waistline said "biatch please you got goals" so I gased it like a bank robber in a high speed chase and made it home safely and unharmed from that tasty chicken lmao but then like I was saying this commercial comes on for "rippin' chicken"

It's a fn' hand , like "what did the five fingers say to the face?" Dave Chappelle as Rick James Hand, it's five chicken strips connected together like a hand. Like word? I trusted them!:  To bring me chicken shaped chicken not a human hand. Like wtf Auntie Shirley (is that her name? The spokeswoman?) like did they not see the Kentucky Fried Rat story ? That was shaped like a rat but was DNA tested and found to be chicken. The fact that they DNA tested the chicken made it clear that I shouldn't eat there! Like ever! And now this hand shaped chicken? 

Why would i care if it comes with Cajun fries and that beautiful biscuit? I don't want hand looking chicken in my plate. I don't want my food waving goodbye to me before I demolish it!!  Why?

Do I need to start a petition on change.org? A "go fund me" for detached chicken tender awareness? 

Just why Auntie Shirley? 


Here's a pic so you can gage how dramatic I'm being ! Lmao! 

And here's a reference to KFC's rat chicken 


Why? 

BTW : if you live in L.A. (The real L.A.)  The best Fried Chicken is from Louisana Fried Chicken on Manchester and Normandie!
 It's not like the other Louisana Fried Chickens 
This particular location stays crowded so the food is always fresh but there are rules
1. It's always crowded
2. Cash only
3. The chicken is not kid friendly (the skin is a bit spicy)
4. Be prepared for "hustle man" to try and sell you cd's , dvd's , scented oils, , t-shirts, church suits still in the cleaner's plastic on the safety pinned hangers! 
5. Don't make eye contact with anyone 
6. Try really hard not to finish your order of fries on the way home 

Anywho... Popeye's marketing execs have lost their damn minds! 

A HAND!

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts,...

Papa Scoob - Taking the Game into Overtime

Image
Its Overtime is The Official Mixtape release from Papa Scoob presented by the Outerspace Musik Group. Papa Scoob is an East Oakland Native/ Berkley raised lyricist, that has been gracing the music scene with his impeccable lyricism for the past ten years. The Its Overtime mixtape is filled with dynamic flows and metaphors over some of the top 100 billboard tracks with the incorporation of some interludes that capture the most pivotal overtime moments in recent sports history, symbolically signifying Scoob's resilience to the sport of the music grind and shaping his own game as an artist. I've known Scoob since he began rapping and I enjoy listening to him grow as an artist. He definitely doesn't need a hype man because he gets the momentum going with his energetic intensity over each and every track.  Despite his longevity I feel like this mixtape is his coming of age moment. I'm so very proud of his accomplishments and urge yo...

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Image
Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee...
