06.18.08 COW-OWWWW-WOW-WOW-WOW-WOW
For Braves fans, it's not enough simply to disparage the conquered, noble Injun peoples by doing tomahawk chops and cliched warrior moans, they needed to bring a giant mechanical cow in on the act. Me smoke 'em racist pipe.
Chick-fil-A's metro Atlanta restaurants are taking the company's cow campaign to new heights, hoisting a 40-foot tall, 15,000-pound, tomahawk-chopping mechanical cow atop the Braves' stadium.
The cow is expected to arrive in Atlanta this weekend and be unveiled at the June 20 game against the Seattle Mariners. Look for it between the big Coca-Cola bottle and the out-of-town scoreboard.
The local Chick-fil-A operators wanted to do something that clearly tied the chicken sandwich chain to its Atlanta roots, said Robin Ogle, Atlanta area marketing director for Chick-fil-A.
Poor fat-ass Andruw Jones. He takes big money to depart for Los Angeles so that he can slump abjectly. And now? They stick 15,000 lbs. of cow in the outfield, conveniently next to a giant soda bottle. Throw in some grits and he'd have been set. Can you believe all this organic food they try to make him eat out in L.A.? At least they're not asking for him to produce on the field. Running with 15 Dodger dogs in his esophagus is not advisable.

All I know is their chicken breakfast sandwich takes 1/2 a year off my life and I am grateful for it.
If the goal was to tie "the chicken sandwich chain to its Atlanta roots," shouldn't the cow be involved in some sort of lynching?
If you hit the cow, do you win a free steak?
Why are they hanging a cow in Atlanta?
NAACP nixed the plan for the cow to wear a sheet.
Heritage takes another back seat to political correctness.
If the Braves make the playoffs look for the cow to bomb area Planned Parenthood clinics.
amen BC, and their waffle fries kick ass.
also, don't feel too bad for Andrew Jones. they have In-N-Out burger in LA
@UU: Also, the Original Tommy's is right near Dodger Stadium. Their double chili-cheeseburgers are the best things ever to soak up beer. Next morning? Fire in the hole! Whatever…totally worth it.
@WDYA, good to know if i ever make it to Dodger Stadium
Looking at their marketing campaign, its fairly obvious that the cows can spell better than 98% of the south.
@UU: Actually, I wouldn't recommend that location now…seemed fun when I was like 22, but it's at the corner of Beverly and Rampart, which is prime "hit by a stray bullet" territory. Then again, if you've been drinking all night, flashing "Westside" signs at various ne'er-do-wells is pretty fun.
@WDYA, even better to know.
And like Chick-Fil-A, the Braves plan on taking off Sundays too in addition to every other day.
I think those chicken sandwiches and their chicken biscuits (w/ cheese & Texas Pete sauce) can overcome a multitude or racist stereotypes. Can't we just forgive and get back to eating?
In&Out> anything in ATL
Bobafet7t7 has obviously never been to The Varsity
@ Mark
I saw The Varsity on some food show the other day. Nearly hopped on the next flight to the ATL.
The Varsity is where we send tourists as an inside joke, like The Clairmont Lounge or Buckhead!
O, I mean it's great, yea come on down
Ha, say hi to Blondie! Seriously, other than the variety at Vortex, where are you gonna get a better chilli steak? Just don't look at the kitchen before you eat.
