New York anchorman Ernie Anastos' now-infamous verbal slip, "Keep F***ing that chicken," has raised the ire of one group who thinks it's no laughing matter: America's chicken-F***ers.

Tracy Klugian, a prominent chicken-F***er who heads a watchdog group that monitors the portrayal of chicken-F***ers in the media, says that his group is "not at all amused" by the recent spate of jokes that use Mr. Anastos' on-air *la*hper as a punchline.

"Our message is a simple one: chicken-F***ers have feelings, too," he said.

Mr. Klugian said that the explosion of chicken-F***ing jokes on late-night TV and on the Internet are "insensitive and hurtful."

"Once again, we chicken-F***ers are being stereotyped and belittled," he said. "We need to get the message out that the act of love between a man and a chicken, when consensual, is a beautiful thing.
