Greetings fellow Bizarros:
I’m doing a little goofing around with Bizarre News, folks,
and I want you to know what’s going on. You’ll notice right
away that there are fewer ads. We were in a sales meeting
recently and the company brain trust decided that readers
might pay more attention to ads if there were fewer of them
to clutter up the page. Since Bizarre News has (had) the
largest number of ads of any Gophercentral publication we
get the pleasure of acting as the guinea pig.
But I didn’t want to thin the newsletter out too much so I
am also adding in something the geeks who work on our video
portal (www.EVTV1.com) cooked up. It’s called a Video Snack
Bar. It’s kind of like a ‘Best Of’ video selection from
EVTV1. So make sure to click around on it a little bit below.
And if you just miss the ads because you’re one of those
people who are shop-a-holics you can always subscribe to our
incredibly popular Deal of the Day newsletter. This is the
baby of our executive buyer, Anisa, and for being a strictly
commercial publication it is the most popular email on our
site. Maybe because the ‘Deals’ are usually so good.
Anyway, if you are interested in checking it out (you can
always unsubscribe later) just click the link below and
look for DEAL OF THE DAY at the top of the page under ‘Most
Popular.’

———- Police: Gorilla-suited robber foiled ————
CONWAY, Fla. - Police said a 21-year-old Florida restaurant
worker used a meat cleaver to fight off an attempted robber
wearing a gorilla suit. Investigators said the worker, who
was not identified, told police he was taking trash out
to the trash bin at Jimmy’s Japanese Hibachi in Conway at
about 11:24 p.m. Monday when the gorilla-suited attacker
appeared and punched him in the head, The (Myrtle Beach)
Sun reported. The employee struggled with the attacker and
made his way back inside the restaurant with the robber
in pursuit, police said. The suspect approached the cash
register but ran out of the restaurant when the employee
lodged a meat cleaver in the arm of the gorilla suit, the
police report said.
