John is an American farmer who owns a large plot of land with a vibrant vegetable garden, a blooming orchard, and his comfortable home. John keeps hens in a coop next to his house, some of which he uses for his own purposes and some of which he sells. Over the years, this arrangement has worked well for him, increasing the productivity and self-sufficiency of his farm.
Occasionally, John is used to discovering eggs strewn all over his property, particularly in the vicinity of the greenhouse where his hens enjoy running amok. Since his free-range hens behaved in this manner normally, there was never any reason to be concerned. But one morning, John noticed something strange that caught his attention.
John found a group of perfectly black eggs next to the chicken coop. He had never seen anything like this before. John was surprised at first by the striking black hue of the eggs, but his curiosity overcame him. He was intrigued by these unusual eggs and chose to incubate them in a warm, dark corner of his barn, just like he would any ordinary chicken egg.
The eggs started to hatch after several days of patient waiting, exposing their even more amazing contents. The chicks that emerged astounded John since they were entirely black, down to their beaks and feathers. John was excited to learn more about these unusual birds because he had never expected to see this sight.
The chicks turned out to be Ayam Cemani, a rare species distinguished by their remarkable all-black look. Their interior organs and bones are also included in this distinctive feature, which goes beyond appearances. John found out that his affluent neighbor, who specialized in uncommon breeds, was the breeder of these unusual chickens. It seemed as though one of his neighbor’s hens had inadvertently strayed into John’s land and lay eggs.
For John, the discovery of the Ayam Cemani chickens was a thrilling experience that brought a sense of mystery and variety to his farming life. In addition to introducing him to a new breed, this event deepened his relationship with his neighbor and sparked conversations about possible future partnerships. Though surprises were nothing new to John’s farm, the emergence of these black chicks was a wonderful exception that brought to mind the never-ending wonders of the natural world.
DWTS fans blast Gene Simmons for ‘cringey’ comments: ‘worst guest judge’
Fans of Dancing with the Stars are expressing their shock over Gene Simmons using his position as a guest judge to “sexualize women.”
The 75-year-old KISS frontman, known for his larger-than-life stage presence and persona, joined the show to critique the contestants on Hair Metal Night as they danced to iconic rock anthems from the 1980s.
But audiences are now demanding the network “issue an apology” for “putting a creep on the show,” and for providing him a platform to voice his “cringe-worthy” and “sexist” comments.
On the Tuesday, October 9 episode of Dancing with the Stars, KISS rocker Gene Simmons raised quite a few eyebrows with his controversial guest appearance.
As part of the show’s Hair Metal Night, Simmons joined regular judges Carrie Ann Inaba, Derek Hough, and Bruno Tonioli to critique the celebrity dancers.
Despite the high energy of the nostalgia-filled performance set to hits like Cherry Pie and Rock You Like a Hurricane, Simmons’ sexually suggestive remarks overshadowed the night for many fans.
While his rock persona has long been associated with pushing boundaries, many felt his behavior wasn’t suited for the lighthearted nature of the competition series.
Throughout the episode, Simmons, 75, made several remarks that focused less on the dancing and more on the female dancer’s looks, which many viewers call “creepy.”
After former NFL wide receiver Danny Amendola and Witney Carson hit the dance floor, “The Demon” said he couldn’t figure out who was more “hot hot hot.”
“Danny, I’m telling you, you’re right next to somebody – one of the most beautiful women on the planet. She makes you look good. Buddy, you gotta hit the gym. You gotta get in there,” added Simmons.
And then, referring to Emma Slater who was dancing with actor Reginald VelJohnson dancer, he said: “You’ve got a beautiful woman right beside you, who can twist it and turn it, and knows how to move it and, you know, all that.”
The rock legend also had words for VelJohnson. “I wanna tell you, as a guy that’s been on the stage for half a century around the world, I’m kind of a big deal, Reggie,” Simmons said. “It’s all in the attitude and you’ve got something in that beautiful face, they love you!”
Perhaps one of his cringiest remarks was directed to actor-singer Chandler Kinney. Explaining that her moves “fogged up” his glasses, Simmons removed his dark shades and said, “You moved me, not just with your gyrations and so on, but your beautiful face and how you were into the emotion of it – top to bottom.”
He did however offer one relevant opinion to Kinney when he praised her talents, noting that she has a “big future” ahead of her.
Social media quickly filled with backlash, with many expressing their discomfort and frustration. Some viewers even went as far as to call him the “worst guest judge” in the show’s 33-season run.
“I usually like Gene Simmons and think he’s funny. But that was not the case as a guest judge. Very inappropriate and just not helpful,” writes one cyber fan on the DWTS Facebook site.
A second shares, “It was uncomfortable for us watching, can’t even imagine how the women felt. And he wasn’t scoring dances, he was just giving out random numbers.”
Gene was a bust! His comments and feedback were inappropriate along with the scores.”
A third critic adds, “His comments on all the girls was cringe!”
Another user calls Simmons “vulgar” and says he’s “the worst judge ever
Meanwhile, other online citizens are calling out ABC and Disney+, suggesting the network and streaming service apologize to fans of DWTS.
“Y’all owe the biggest apology to your fanbase (which is primarily women) & the dancers for putting that creep on your show and allowing for him to sexualize them on live TV,” one netizen writes on Facebook.
A second pens, “They need to apologize for having Gene Simmons. It was cringe-worthy. His comments were sexist, and he was just awful.”
“But they had a felon on the show this season,” adds another user, who’s referring to Anna Delvey (Sorokin), the convicted fraudster who sparked a lot of controversy with her appearance on September 17, the first episode of the DWTS season.
