Evil Robots Fall Victim to Massive Brownouts

WASHINGTRON, DC-- Evil Robots Incorporated announced that it had suffered from "massive brownouts" last week. CEO and Co-Founder, Godzilla, wished to stress that these incidents were completely unrelated to the power grid problems in California.

In the announcement, which was yelled at the gathered global press from 100 feet for sanitary reasons, Godzilla explained the situation. "This is totally unrelated to the power shortage in California. If anything, we are suffering from an over abundance of power. This is all Magic Dave's fault. He made the chili."

Godzilla continued to explain that rash of brownouts occurred following a recent "bullshit session". "We had gathered to discuss our next issue and also consume large quantities of beer and chili. The chili was too powerful. Two hours later, we all browned-out. It was disgusting. Our underpants were all ruined. When I said we'd be having a "bullshit session" I didn't mean it literally. Sometimes I hate irony."

In closing the press briefing Godzilla expressed sympathy for the people of California, "After the havoc wreaked both internally and externally by our brief string of brownouts, I can only imagine the tremendous agony that Californians must be feeling after undergoing wide-spread brownouts for the last month. We're talking about MILLIONS of people here. The stench must be horrendous."

Evil Robots is accepting donations of clean new underpants and Pepcid AC. For more information, please contact brownout-relief@evilrobots.com.
