According to yesterday’s New York Times article, “‘Boneless’ Wings, the Cheaper Bite,” it is now more expensive to purchase chicken wings with the bones in than buying boneless chicken.

Hmmm…

The article states:

“All this is happening because wholesale chicken prices have turned upside down. The once-lowly wing is selling at a premium over what has long been the gold standard of poultry parts, the skinless boneless chicken breast.”

“Like the tail that wags the dog, the wings are now flapping the chicken.”

Thanks to all those tail-gaters, Happy Hour buffets, and Monday Night Football parties, wings are now a high-ticket item.

If that’s not a Sign of the Apocalypse, then WalMart‘s recent selection as global leader in promoting a “green” economy might be.

Stay tuned.

It’s been a household staple since 1953, when General Foods added Ed Perkins‘ powder drink to their food conglomerate.

Hot days include bucket-loads of the stuff at kids’ parties, and the drink was every mom’s fruit-juice substitute for years before Gatorade or vitamin drinks arrived.

As hot as it is in Los Angeles, now’d be a good time for a Kool-Aid party. But not the Jim Jones kind of Kool-Aid party.

LMFAO are special and good. The name supposedly stands for Laughing My Fucking Ass Off, among other things.

These guys bring something to the table that big studios and record companies can’t compete with — Do It Yourself moxie and creative energy. Their current kicking dance-floor track is “I’m in Miami, Bitch,” which seems poised for pop-funk heavy-rotation for Summer 2009.

This is the new-media, Web 2.0 generation at their finest, making it happen, getting crazy, toasting to the good times, using the Internet to promote and expand their “Rock Party” universe, and it’s working.

Check out their YES! video right here. This was their Summer 2008 hit. These guys make Hollywood proud, and Interscope Records and Universal Distribution are getting paid without even really knowing how it all works: Twitter, Facebook, Skype, MySpace, and YouTube domination, that’s how.

They make their own music on drum-machines, they film their own videos, they promote these videos as viral content, they promote their own shows, they Twitter their fans, they link to fans in Facebook, they Skype their live antics, they host audio samples on MySpace, and they handle the “Rock Party” vibe with real thunder and infectious GOODness. That’s DIY that every punk-rocker and guerrilla filmmaker can be proud of.

Keep workin’ it LMFAO, and make the people proud to party!
