Nebraska Man Pleads With City Council To Rename The 'Lie' That Is 'Boneless Chicken Wings' In Viral Video

Nebraska Man Pleads With City Council To Rename The 'Lie' That Is 'Boneless Chicken Wings' In Viral Video

Some people are passionate about charitable causes, some people are passionate about politics.

And some people are passionate about chicken wings.


Meet Ander Christensen. Ander is very passionate about chicken wings.

He's also very passionate about how we, as a society, refer to chicken products.

Christensen, a resident of Lincoln, Nebraska, appeared before the city council to plea that the city eliminate "boneless chicken wings" from the vocabulary of its food service.

As soon as he expresses that he is referring to boneless wings, laughter can be heard off-camera, at which point Christensen pauses and asks the man to stop laughing.

Christensen—a self described Husband, Chemical Engineer, Storyteller—also posted on Twitter that he felt "it was time for [him] to get involved in local politics."




People are becoming heavily involved with the semantics of boneless wings.




Christensen is adamant that not only are "boneless wings" false advertising, but they are teaching children to be "afraid" of bones in their meat.





"We have been casually ignoring a problem that has gotten so out of control that our children are throwing around names and words without even understanding their true meaning, treating things as though they're normal," Christensen said, expressing his indignation over the use of the phrase.

"We would be disgusted if a butcher was mislabeling their cuts of meats, but then we go around pretending as though the breast of a chicken is its wing?"





Has one man ever been so able to unify people under a common issue?

Christensen's video has now been seen more times than the amount of people who are residents of the city of Lincoln:

"Frankly, this is an issue that's too large for a stage like the Lincoln, Neb., City Council..."
"This is probably something that would have to be addressed by the Department of Agriculture, since they take care of all the labeling."
"It's gotten over three million hits, we may as well take this to the national level."

Christensen's passion for the falsehood of boneless wings could well be the one unifying issue of 2020. Officially, the city of Lincoln took the issue under advisement, though they have yet to issue a ruling.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
