The Greatest News Ever Reported

By Nick Geml on July 2, 2009 2:12 AM | Permalink | 24 Comments
We interrupt this steady stream of groundbreaking Zelda news, site updates, and amazingly-written articles to bring you what is possibly the greatest news story you will ever read on this site.

You know how you occasionally hear stories on the news of people claiming to have seen Jesus in their pancakes, spaghetti, and cheetos? Finally, we have a similar story relating to Zelda--a McDonald's Chicken Select in the form of an Ocarina.

a piece of fried chicken in the shape of the ocarina of time

That's not even the best part. The lucky fellow who acquired this horribly-misshapen piece of chicken something has placed it on eBay, with a starting bid of $25. Apparently he doesn't want you to eat it, though, which is probably for the best.

Place your bid here. Make a joke about this being the Ocarina of Thyme/playing the New Wave Barbecue Sausa Nova below.

YOU DARN KIDS GET OFF THE INTERNET

Seriously, You have too much imagination. I hope this piece of chicken gets rotten before it arrives to it's destination, but since it is McDonals, it will never happen.

No, seriously, stop ripping off ignorant people.

I am getting always bad things from this site.
First the "Remove Ganon from the Zelda series" and now selling a piece of chicken as an ocarina.

I also noticed your site has a triforce upside down. Maybe you are an Anti-Zelda.

I hope your site is just for entertaining purposes, and not a site to rant of Zelda Fans!

Relax dude. To quote April O'Neil from the first TMNT movie, "...It was a joke...".

Well you took my joke at the end.... Now I'm mad because I have no puns to work with.

:(

Eximius, you obviously have misunderstood the news post. You need to realize ZI isn't selling this piece of chicken, it is an item that an unidentified individual has put on ebay. This news post was found here (http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/01/ebay-piece-of-chicken-shaped-like-ocarina-of-time/), and Nick is merely sharing it. ZI has nothing to do with its sale.

Secondly you have to realize that the article on the removal of Ganondorf was an article expressing the views of the author - it says nothing for the opinions of the website as a whole.

Oh, and as for the upside-down Triforce, you must be pretty ignorant to think that about it, as that references something that incorporates every Zelda website in the world considered decent (ZI, ZU, ZD, ZW and so forth)

If you're, Eximius, looking for a site with no emotion or humor in a post, then go to another site. It was nothing more than just some comedy, and wasn't meant to be taken likely.

As for the upside down Triforce, upside down symbols don't = anti. People always relates an upside down cross to Satan, when it really represents St. Peter. So you need to get your facts straight. As for what Mel said, it's a a binding symbol that shows how the sites he listed are unified together, all of them have it on their site. Him and I would know, we're both a part of it. ;)

You all are simply being too kind. Eximius is a grand representation of all that is evil in the community. It's bad enough that they feel simply because an article wishing to be rid of Ganondorf is a call to be anti-zelda - but for them to not even realize the comedy value in this ebay auction shows that simply put: They are out of place.

Protip: If we're so anti Zelda, then why are you commenting at said anti-zelda site? Are you anti-zelda? You sure seem to be supporting a site that is.

LOL at upside down triforce. We love Zelda here, so much so we have thoughts on many aspects and theories, and for some of our staff, namely me in regards to ganondorf, opinions on where things should go. We are not afraid to emit these thoughts, or theories, even if they are not popular. My ganondorf article did exactly what it was intended to do. It spurred intense debate across the interwebs. Read some of the comments and you may be enlightened.

Thank you for your comments.

I don't hate this site, I was just expressing my first impression of this site.

Please don't take me wrong, is just that I am very over-protective when people are trying to rip off ignorant people, and that's what this e-bay seller seems to be doing, and I got a bit upset.

About the upside down triforce, once again, it was the impression that I got. It seems obvious to think this since an upside down cross or upside down flag mean anti.
I understand there can be miss interpretations the same way the Manji is mostly confused as a Hittler sign.
Melchizedek I am pretty sure there are a lot of ignorant Zelda fans about the meaning of this symbol. I am sorry, I am not trying to make enemies, just trying to make a point, but when you call me ignorant, it felt like an attack, when it is more ignorant to realize that every body knows what a non canon Zelda sign means. Once again, I am not trying to make enemies, and hope we can leave this behind.

About the Ganon article, the same way you express Ganon should go, I am just expressing I disagree. He could be improved, and he has had his moments of glory.

I am sorry if it felt like an attack, I was just trying to letting you know that this was the first impression I got since I just started visiting this site.

I am glad to be on the same page as you are now.

Just as a point, a country flying their flag upside-down is generaly a sign of distress or emergency.

I wonder if anyone has played the mcdonalds theme on an Ocarina?

ba-da-ba-ba-ba I'm lovin' it....

you guys ruined what was an amazing string of comments thanks a lot eximius you need a girlfriend/boyfriend/something jesus christ dude

I dare someone to buy it. Then eat it.

Are you saying the girlfriend thing because of experience Nick?

Eximus - a upside down cross does mean anti-christ. It's a symbol for Saint Peter.

Of course, if you watch movies instead of looking at reality...

And nick - your epic news got hijacked. I blame the chicken.

let's just say i get head and tail like a quarter

Now, this sure is the most ground-breaking news I've ever heard!

I guess there is no point to keep arguing with all of you.

I understand you are a group of friends and you are helping each other. I could answer back to your indirect comments, but like I said, I am not here to make enemies.

I take back any bad things I said, and lets just forget about his.

Maybe the Admin could delete from the start of my first comment.

Just a note of how freedom of speech is as real as Jesus or Santa Clause.

At Eximius: No hard feelings lad, many people are ignorant to the upside down Triforce ;)

Also remember that the internet is not serious business. :P

luisa you have the right idea
