The !!!! Chicken Inn was a fried-chicken restaurant chain located on the Old Bothell Highway on the outskirts of the Seattle city limits, in what is today the Lake City neighborhood of Seattle. The Seattle branch -- part of a larger chain founded by Maxon Lester Graham (1897-1977) in Salt Lake City, Utah in 1925 -- opened its doors in August 1930.The restaurant was famous for its ubiquitous logo of a "!!!!," or a caricatured African American male. Despite protests from the African American community, the Seattle branch remained open until late 1949.

The !!!! Chicken Inn’s famous logo was of a "!!!!," or a racist caricature of an African American male rooted in nineteenth century minstrel theater and early twentieth century advertising. The restaurant’s "!!!!" logo wore a porter’s uniform. The face was complete with a winking left eye and enlarged red lips forever gaping to expose the words "!!!! Chicken Inn" etched on the rows of shining white teeth.


The "!!!!" logo appeared on every dish, silverware piece, menu, matchbox (the image even appeared on the matchsticks!), and children’s fan produced for the restaurant. The doors of the !!!! Chicken Inn’s delivery car were plastered with the "!!!!" logo and the entrance to the restaurant itself featured a 12-foot-high "!!!! head" by which patrons would enter the restaurant through a door in the head’s mouth and chin.

She's an idiot for not realising how low she's stooping for money.


If I had the skills I would have made a parody of Nasty Put Some Clothes On music video featuring clips from her videos. Thinking we don't notice her hypocrisy :wtb:
