CONFUSED PROTESTORS DISRUPT V8 TOMATO COCKTAIL SUMMIT
TOLEDO, OH (DPI) - A group of angry, shouting demonstrators here
succeeded in shutting down the 5th Annual V8 Juice Summit yesterday.
Chanting anti-globalization slogans and throwing biodegradable
water balloons, the mob had meant to show up at the G8 Economic
Summit in Genoa, Italy, but organizers had evidently been a bit
confused. Attempts by security forces to douse the protestors
with tomato juice proved fruitless, until the V8 Spicy Tomato
Cocktail -- saved for emergencies such as this -- was brought out.
A spokesperson for the protestors slapped himself on the forehead
and commented, "I coulda had a map."
