It's like the Surveillance Players Theater teamed up with that female artist who made a piece where she videotaped herself having sex with an art buyer in a hotel -- but with the advertising industry's trademark lack of restraint. I mean, it's revealed so early that this is a fake. It'd be better if the viewer was left wondering if it's real or staged... but they couldn't resist the over-the-top fuzzy chicken and alien fingers.

i did enjoy the bit with the chicken on the toilet. it was so Paul McCarthy meets Bruce Nauman meets Pollo Campero.
The concept is intriguing enough. But the promotional spot that explains how clever and controversial (and fake) it is ruins it.
I like it.
