One direction busted smoking weed and chattin about chicken

[Bahnhof Strasse]

Who the fuck are one direction?

They're bigger than the Beatles and Jesus combined.

I've still never heard one of their songs mind you.

You probably have, in the same way that you've probably eaten pabulum - it's just that it's not the kind of stuff you notice consuming.

I saw one of those parody videos of them, and (bravely) decided I'd better listen to the "original" to see what was being parodied. Apart from finding it difficult to tell source and parody apart, the only significant thing about the one direction stuff was how incredibly mediocre it was, even allowing for my low expectations.

But then you don't build an audience of 9 year old girls and uncritical teenagers by writing challenging, groundbreaking, drug-fuelled music with interesting lyrics.

Well. Good luck to em. A fucking kilo It seems to be their roadie confirming that was all sorted so presumably they were gonna share it around the whole crew. Happy days indeed.

 

[dolly's gal]

what is chicken?? has this been clarified yet??

 

[gabi]

A kilo of the finest South American charlie

 

[dolly's gal]

oh i see. chicken is coke apparently

can i just say, aside from anything else, what a fucking awful name for it

eta: a kilo you say? fair play!

 

[gabi]

Which I can personally confirm is the best on earth. 5 quid a gram back in my day working in SA. Aaaaaaaahhh.

Unless they want to be a 'grown up' band who shed the kids in order to make proper music.

I can see it being planned from a pov of extending their career longevity and therefore allowing them to make more money, but seems odd just before a US tour as the US authorities are, um, unpredictable about such things.

 

[dolly's gal]

chicken though? really? i mean, maybe i'm getting bogged down by the details, but chicken????

I think this is bad for them, all this getting out. Their appeal is not the music clearly; if they all looked like Blodwyn Pig they wouldn't sell one single album.

They are a very carefully marketed product, music is maybe 10% of their appeal.

If only Cowell still had Clifford in his corner He would have made this disappear.

...safely locked away in the special safe.

didn't they film it themselves? call me cynical but i assumed it was part of their marketing strategy. i could be totally wrong tho.

hey rutabowa i read in the metro this morning that cynical people are three times more likely to develop Alzheimer's in older age. no need to thank me for passing that cheery info on

 

[pesh]

@ that young lass burning her ticket because they smoke. kids these days

while wearing a Rolling Stones t-shirt

 

[xenon]

you'd think with their cash they'd spring for some decent colombian export quality. Rather than waxing lyrical about some shonky research chem called chicken

all these new fangled crap drugs have proper shit names.

I thought chicken meant young homosexual naked bloke. According to Peter Cook anyway. Though I assumed they were comparing the likes of KFC verses Chicken Cottage et al which is a fairly typical stoned conversation.

But marketing to who?

Who will consume their output apart from puebescent girls? I'm sure they won't open up a whole new 20-something male market with these revelations.

Given that Peter Cook was born 57 years before Harry Styles I think he may have used rather different slang.

i had already read that article and processed it before i wrote the post... too late to change now for me unfortunately.

 

[rutabowa]

my first thought was that "chicken" meant "young fan" but i'm willing to go with "kilo of coke" if that's what everyone says nowadays

 

[rutabowa]

ps i haven't seen the video or read the article.

 

[dolly's gal]

thank you for clarifying

 

[stavros]

Caught on camera with their dealer;

 

[isvicthere?]

The drugs phase is just before the serious album. I'd be more worried about the latter.

Wow! They're going to make "Revolver"!

 

[chemn]

My mate calls weed chicken.

Going by the photos, they look like Biebers.

 

[kraepelin]

Disgraceful why could they not have just chill-out with a nice glass of alcohol, and in that have both avoided the dangers of cannabis and reinforced the drinking culture which offers no dangers at all to their young mainly female fans.


And i wonder on a purely think of my taxes, of the chicken and cannabis which costs the NHS more each year the possible slight rise in those with a predisposition to mental health who abuse cannabis or the cheap chicken which heightens the obesity time bomb.

They have a separate private jet for whoever's sulking
