06:50 AM ET 01.25 | The National Football League is calling KFC's chicken dance challenge to Super Bowl players a "textbook case of ambush marketing 101." As part of a national promotion for its hot wings, the chicken chain will donate $260,000 to charity in the name of the first Patriots or Giants player who performs the "wing flapping" portion of the chicken dance for at least three seconds in the end zone during the championship game. The offer also applies to the first celebrity Super Bowl performer who does the cheesy wedding standard on stage.

I heard on the radio yesterday morning that he invited her to go hunting with him figuring that was too much for her. Well, she apparently accepted much to his chagrin.

Hell, I'll do the chicken dance in either endzone but they'll have to consider me a charity. I'm worthy.
