As reported by the Huffington Post...

 

This is Betty -- a chicken with more Twitter followers than you.

 

Chicken Treat, an Australian fast food chicken chain, has put the bird to work for it's new ad campaign. Betty is assigned a life of professional tweeting until she can produce a five-letter English word.

Science says if you give a monkey a typewriter and an infinite amount of time, eventually it'll spit out some Shakespeare.

 

It is, not surprisingly, a marketing stunt. The company will continue this exercise until Betty successfully tweets a five-letter word in English, which will apparently earn her a place in the Guinness Book of World Records. She seems to be making progress — on Thursday, she typed “bum.” Dark irony undercuts the humor here, of course. Betty is unwittingly working to promote a firm that exists only to execute and barbecue her brethren for human consumption.
