Cincinnati, OH--An advertising stunt dreamed up by a local Cincinnati radio station went terribly wrong when twenty live turkeys plummeted to their deaths after being dropped out of a helicopter under the misguided assumption that they would all just fly away.
"The turkeys were hitting the ground like sacks of wet cement," stated Les Nessman, who reported the event live for station WKRP from the parking lot of the Pinedale Shopping Mall.
"It was just terrible. People started to panic and were running around the parking lot screaming. One of the turkeys even went right through the windshield of a parked car."
Station Manager Arthur Carlson took full responsibility for the chaos caused by the Thanksgiving Day promotion, claiming that "as God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly." The station promised to reimburse anybody who suffered property damage as a result of this stunt.
WKRP is a "beautiful music" station that ranks 16th in the 18 station Cincinnati market. They are currently considering a format change in hopes of boosting their dismal ratings.

Oh dear, :S How'd they get 20 turkeys in a helicopter anyway?

I don't feel so guilty about laughing when I read the original post now :D
I'm not fussed, now it's just a very stupid plot line.
Oi I posted this Garin, I'm no idiot, I just didnt realise I had to rename it to .shtml
Erm...
This is actually a plot line from a 70/80s american sitcom called WKRP in Cincinnati.

So stupid americans? Hmm...how about stupid people who automatically believe everything they read on the internet. ;)

I was thinking of putting something in small around there, but this seemed to have the potential to entertain me more.

That's horrible, what kind of an uneducated... Ah, he was American, this explains it all.
That can't be real, can it? Surely no-one can be THAT stupid?
What an idiot. I hope PETA shoot him.
