Man swindles paper with ‘Gucci’ ad
FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS
Some people will do anything to appear in the papers. But few have the audac
ity of a man in Switzerland, who conned one of the country’s biggest media
companies into publishing a two-page ad he created of himself posing semi
naked beside a bottle of Gucci perfume. The man, who claimed to represent
the Italian fashion giant, called up the Swiss weekly SonntagsZeitung last week to book
the expensive color spread in Sunday’s edition, a spokesman for the paper said.
Christoph Zimmer told The Associated Press on Tbesday that the man asked for the
60,000-Swiss-franc (about $50,000) bill to be sent to Gucci.
“We’ve spoken to Gucci and apologized for the mistake,” Zimmer said. “We’re going to
try and get the money back from this guy, but we don’t rate our chances.”
NOTED. The newest addition to the menu at
Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Pennsylvania is one
whopper of a burger.
The Beer Barrel Main Event Charity Burger
weighs in at 123 pounds, a meaty monstros
ity that its cooks maintain shatters the world
record of 105 pounds shared by two restaurants
in New Jersey and Thailand.
There’s a pretty hefty price tag, too: $379.
