Savage Chickens ... in Distractions

Savage Chickens (via Drawn!) is an online chicken cartoon by Doug Savage.

"Like some sort of haunting supernatural force, the chickens bubbled up from the darkness of Doug's subconscious mind. In a trance-like state, he drew them on office whiteboards. He drew them in notebooks. He drew them on anything that sat still long enough. People started asking, "Who's drawing those damn chicken cartoons everywhere?"

Doug tried to stop but he couldn't. The chickens were unstoppable. To retain his sanity, all he could do was grab a stack of sticky notes, and release the Savage Chickens."
One Free Minute ... in Kewl

What would you say, given one free minute of anonymous, uncensored speech? A very cool idea indeed. I highly recommend watching the video - the setting up part is intriguing onto itself. The first call grabs your attention: ""I have cancer ... and cancer sucks"

I had a vision that this would take the place of the raving lunatics that spout obcenities and other random interjections at no one particular in the Tenderloin. Welcome to modern world, where you too can be a madman without the being revealed as such. But on the other hand, you could be brilliant, and profoundly impact a stranger with words that snuck out the back door of your heart.

So, what would you say?
