Posted: 9/26/05 at 4:17pmIsn't this offensive to tuna? Being referred to some other animal that seems plentiful? Why couldn't the CHICKENS be called 'Tuna of the Land'?

Posted: 9/26/05 at 4:26pmI've been wondering this for many MANY years, myself.
"I don't really get the ending,all i can go with is when after several months,Judith saw Pat sang,and later she kissed him on the toilet,after that the story back to where Pat went down from the stage after he'd sung,and he went to the italian lady.I just don't get it,what Judith exatcly meant when he kissed Pat that she had seen,and did Pat end up together with The Italian Lady?Please help me,thank u very much!"
Quote from someone on IMDB in reference to a movie he/she didn't understand. Such grammar!

I don't know how I thought of this...I think it was due to an impromptu prompt for speech team. My topic was "chicken" and I couldn't think of a last point. So voila, Chicken of the Sea. I think I somehow related it to tuna's inability to speak for themselves, and the company that started the brandname "Chicken of the Sea" would have PETA all over their ass. And...PETA....people...are nearly as rabid as Jesse McCartney fans (Wicked fans, for you theatre peoples...with no connection to the "outside world" whatsoever 
). So yeah...it was an interesting speech lemme tell ya.

Posted: 9/26/05 at 5:32pmPerhaps the marketing gurus assume that everyone knows what a chicken is, and might be lured in to the vast depts of say fish, by calling tuna, CHICKEN OF THE SEA! Yay. At least youre aware it's tuna, Aigoo.

The name confused Jessica Simpson a while back; she wasn't sure whether she was eating chicken or tuna out of the can . . . but this webpage explains all, including why the company chose its name:

Posted: 9/26/05 at 5:41pmDon't let Jessica read that Tuna of the Land stuff...her head might explode!

Posted: 9/26/05 at 9:41pmperhaps because more people ate chicken than tuna, in history.....

Aigoo, that's the best thing I've heard all day. "Tuna of the land" Nice.

Posted: 9/26/05 at 11:09pmIt tastes similar to chicken?! I've had tuna once in my life (love the smell, hate the taste) and it tasted NOTHING like chicken. ::scoff:: I was hoping for a much better explanation than that.

That's a nice little hobbie, I think we need a "tuna-smellers anonymous" for people like you...
