Banana Attacks Verizon Gorilla, Food Chain Goes Ape Shit

“Police? Hi, my name is Brendan. Um, some kid in a banana costume just tackled my mascot…the kid was in mid-air flying like a Spartan from 300, except he was a banana.” Could this be the start of new YouTube remix meme? You’ll have to see for yourself.

It’s a pretty amazingly bizarre story. The gorilla mascot had been spruiking half price car chargers outside a Verizon store in Strongsville, Ohio, when splat: Attacked by a banana boy who was last seen running down the road. Authorities have asked residents to keep their eyes, err, peeled. Wow, I hate myself for going there. [Fox News]
