A retarded chicken that is misleadingly made out to be a "live broadcast" when it is actually pre-recorded. It can pick out words in the middle of junk, like "fjkdlfakjljfkjumpfjkdlfjad" (look in the middle, you'll see "jump"), yet cannot understand "L I G H T S - O F F" (it will understand "lights off").
