Did you seriously just say that?

Yeah, with a "not because" in front of it.

One of my personal favourite parts of The Wire occurs early on in a season one exchange between Wee Bay and D'Angelo. They're standing outside of a takeout joint, with wee Bay in front of a neon sign that says "Burgers" and D in front of a sign saying "Chicken"...Now to the untrained eye, this is just 2 guys talking in front of a ghetto fast food place, but if you think about it a lot Wee Bay is actually Avon's meat. He adds meat to the barksedale organisation when he shoots people and blasts their innards into "hamburger". D'Angelo is chicken because he's popular with the "hoppers" in the pit. He surrounds himself with "chicken". Most people I ask say I'm reading too much into it, but I think I'm on to something.

They mention it specifically in the commentary, if I remember correctly.
