Flickr Places shows chicken around the world
Over at O'Reilly Radar, Brady Forrest writes about the upcoming Flickr Places.
Flickr's soon-to-be-released Places (Radar post) feature will let you explore countries and cities in a new way. You'll also be able to search for interesting photos by tag in its place. The screenshots above show chicken in China and the United States. You can really see the cultural differences.Link

that chicken foot makes me very sad :(

I added my favorite chicken photos (note the prolific chicken-oriented tagging) but they haven't shown up on the Flickr site yet. Too bad! :-(

Yes, that foot is pinning my Bummer Meter. The fact that it's poking out of viscid brown spew is a nice touch.
The foot is gross, but the comparison does point up how ingrained processed foods are as a norm in Western culture, when in fact they're the least natural.
Same reaction here; the chicken foot made me wince initially. Then I thought about it and realized that the pink plastic and overly processed food should really seem more disgusting than the chicken foot. That made me realize that US Americans are kinda messed up about food.
'course, after the only two times I ate chicken in the last 10 years, I got food poisoning. So chicken and I are not on a first name basis.
I agree... that's why I'm vegan :) No processed food for me.
The nuggets make me wince too, it's just that the chicken foot is a little more overtly disturbing.
Haha - I find it funny that everyone thinks the chicken foot is icky - in my grandma Napolitano's kitchen, the feet were the magic ingredient in her soup-of-all-soups. Also, I think the processed vs. down-home illustrations are a little extreme and based on some really broad generalizations - more what we would like to think than what really is...
