Garlic sandwich "protest"
You truly have to take this for what it's worth; I preface this by saying it's likely a publicity stunt.
According to WCPO-TV in Cincinnati, a Cincinnati man who claims he's a vampire planned to protest White Castle's new new garlic cheese sandwich, noting that the chain has "angered the undead" with the sandwich.
This is the best part: this disclaimer ran on the station's Web site "9News got this information from a media release sent by a public relations firm." Wow! Talk about lame journalism.
I think it's funny b/c it's bad journalism, bad PR, and about garlic. Also, if he is a vampire, did he protest during the day?
Garlic is one of my favorite foods, but it doesn't mean I'm going to run to White Castle. I tend to like foods garlickier than chains will allow.
