MIAMI, April 15 (UPI) -- A man in a chicken costume who follows typed commands is sweeping the Internet as part of a Burger King advertising campaign.

The actor that appears, complete with a garter belt, responds to hundreds of typed commands, but stops short of pornography, the Chicago Sun-Times said Thursday. However, the chicken will obey a command to pee on the couch at the subservientchicken.com site.

The chicken also responds to commands to riverdance, moonwalk, somersault and bullfight.

The soundless site looks like one of many Web cam pornography sites where a user can type in a command and a person on the screen will follow it. However, ask the chicken to do a lewd act and it walks up to the camera and wags a scolding finger.

"The site is geared to reach out to the 20- and 30-year-olds that are difficult to reach with traditional advertising," said Blake Lewis, a spokesman for the Miami-based chain.

There is little reference to Burger King, apart from a button to click for information on the BK Tendercrisp sandwich.
