Beer ad prompts resort to be evacuated!!

Post by Marie5656 »

Gotta love this one:



PLYMOUTH, Indiana (AP) -- The beer ad attracted attention -- but not in the way Pabst Blue Ribbon had intended.

A bartender called police because he thought a blinking red light was a bomb, resulting in the evacuation of 35 people from a resort hotel.

Guests were allowed back in their rooms less than an hour later, after a sheriff's officer determined the light was part of a Pabst Blue Ribbon ad. The ad was suction-cupped to the window of the Sam Snead restaurant in Swan Lake Resort.

The bartender called authorities about the suspicious flashing light at 12:30 a.m. Monday, and guests were evacuated about six minutes later, said Doug Leedke, general manager of the resort in Plymouth, 25 miles south of South Bend.

The false alarm is a sign of the times, Leedke said.

"Our employee saw something unusual and reported it," he said.

I was at a hotel once. Layed down in bed, looked up and there was this red blinking light. I thought what the hell is that. Got outta bed turned on the light. Smoke alarm. Okay there might have been some adult beverages involved.

I once stayed the night at a hotel and they had a cheap continental breakfast there. I made toast and in so doing I set off the smoke alarm. I saw a few people stick their heads out into the hall but no one left.
