[By now, you've probably seen it. It started on a teenager's Instantlergram, and then migrated over to Chatter, Timbr, and you might have even seen a video or two on your For You Page on Joltiktok about it. The Daily Dottler ran an article about it sourced by no one.

About what? About how the hot new band Chicken Choice Judy was recently "caught in the wild" at a child's birthday party dressed head to toe as giant torchics.



And the internet, as it often does, has been having a field day with it:

"guess there's one entertaining thing at my brother's dumb party. #chickenchoicejudy #torchic #canileavenow" - Original Poster MimiKissyKyuutie

"cake is very bad for torchics this is completely irresponsible" - Chatter user badbreedertipsonly, famed meme account.

"what the heck is a chicken anyway" - Timbr user newgearhoothootdis, followed by hundreds of replies of increasingly bad guesses.

"this isn't news, call me when the torchics kiss" - Joltiktok user luvdisco, with a filter that adds sparkles to the picture and a music clip that seems to be Celine Brionne's My Heart Ball Will Go On played badly on a Pokéflute.

And so on and so forth. So it probably isn't a surprise when Ryan pops up after a day or so of this.]

hey so

i get how things go on the internet but how do you take them off

like forever

is just deleting the whole internet an option, or...?

you know, for no reason whatsoever.

[Except you know exactly what reason it's for. Because everyone in all of Johto and Kanto has seen it somewhere recently.]

I really think people won't care before long. They have short attention spans and always want the latest gossip. Chicken suits will be old news in a few days. Maybe even by now.

[chickenchoicejudy]

definitely not by now, it was on some news website this morning

normal hecklers are WAY easier to deal with than this

[Does The Daily Dottler count as news when they just report on weird viral things without contacting any sources? Doesn't matter, it looks like an article to Ryan.]

[crystalmaster]

What news site? Some tabloid?

[outofsynth]

The Daily Dottler. Does it still count as a tabloid when the world wide websites don't have different page sizes?

[crystalmaster]

... I don't think page sizes have anything to do with it.

I wouldn't pay much attention to it. It just sensationalizes everything it writes about.

[outofsynth]

They used to. That's how you could tell a quality paper from a sensationalist one if you didn't know the publication.

Do other people pay attention to it? There are plenty of tabloids where I come from that people still listen to even if they know they're garbage.

[crystalmaster]

And it might still be the case offline. Online, it doesn't help, as far as I know.

If it's like home, then yeah, they do. At least until something more interesting comes along. I've had some tabloid stories written about me in both worlds.
