I am waiting for the Sedona Stadium or FBNA and the New NFL (Don't sue us) Team MrB has outshone his previous efforts with a truly brilliant plan to gain domination of the new electronic age. His dark mistress of PR, the elusive Shell, has added her embellishments with great gusto, and Mr. Cheftell, an employee of Monsanto, I know them all. They have usurped the service which rightfully belongs to our whole establishment. Let me point out that the retired CEO, is now employed, gainfully, and not by the state. COULD YOU ASK FOR MORE...CALL THE COMPANY. Our leader in spirit, and perhaps in astuteness, is bravely demonstrating what the real world thinks of business wire. Our CFO has been absent, perhaps she is raising money for the new stadium. As soon as the stadium is finished, I will be trying out for the position of kicker on the New NFL (Don't sue us) Team. Then you will see, we will not be SPLATTED, we will SPLATT. We are in negotiations with a well known psychic who will be the first teleporting quarterback. It will make for exciting TV. We will announce this on Business Wire as soon as we need some money. Did anyone see that the Spider actually came back out and headed up the spout again.

Why a company like that would like to (further) embarrass themselves is beyond me Ha! If there are morons that believe the bb/pennies stories, what makes you think there could not be morons of higher caliber distributing stuff fed by the promoters, (of the pennies), to the "investment community". The fact that they take offense by an April's fools prank to the point of starting legal action, will tell you the sorry state of the legal system, and their own promoters, the trial lawyers... Absurd ?.... I would say so... Then when something truly tragic takes place, the Alarmist Hens turn to the sky pleading, with both arms spread open, (as a peacock in heat), praying... "Why.... why... why... I guedss dat if you take offendse when dsomebody makeds fun of your bidness name.... well it is a sign dat you should change your name.... ho, ho, ho, ho....
