NEWSFLASH!!!

An organization (and we use the word loosely) calling themselves the "Monkey See, Monkey Do Brigade" ("MSMD Brigade" for short) has claimed responsibility for the kidnapping of Mudcat moderator Joe Offer and several of his "clones". They are being held at a Holiday Inn Express in Toledo, Ohio. The location was chosen "because it's the only place we could imagine that's worse than Guantanamo" according to one MSMD Brigade member.

As of this writing, a list of demands has yet to be compiled by the MSMD Brigade, but several members are indicating that "Yo! Lighten up, dude!" will be first on the list.

In a related story, an organization calling themselves the "Microsoft Must Die Brigade" ("MSMD Brigade" for short... sound familiar?) has filed suit against the Monkey See, Monkey Do Brigade for copyright and trademark infringement.
