I was about to tell you that you were wrong, but to be fair I do remember feeling a bit uncomfortable about that in the movie at first. But then they took it to such an extreme that it was very clearly done for laughs and not any commentary on mental illness.

You're right! It is insensitive to all the special needs chickens in the world. I bet those chickens are outraged!
