LOS ANGELES, USA – There were scenes of mass hysteria on Tuesday night as a herd of horses galloped along Hollywood Boulevard wearing fake vampire teeth and neighing for blood; resulting in the deaths of eight Japanese tourists and two local transients.

“They had no idea a team of marauding vampire horses neighing uncontrollably while hoofing it down Hollywood Boulevard would scare anyone…”

It became apparent the following day that former television personality Mr Ed and several friends were known to have been the animals at the centre of what is being described as ‘Horse Fools gone wrong’.

“According to Ed it was just a harmless ‘DVD bonus feature’ prank that unfortunately resulted in the deaths of several people,” said local architect, and owner of Mr Ed; Wilbur Post. “They had no idea a team of marauding vampire horses neighing uncontrollably while hoofing it down Hollywood Boulevard would scare anyone; they’re just horses for fuck sake!”

Mr Ed suggested the blame may lay elsewhere: “if those hobo’s weren’t sleeping in that gutter, the Japanese tourists wouldn’t have tripped over them and fallen into the path of an oncoming bus…we can’t be blamed for that. It was just a little, relatively harmless mayhem that may have resulted in some deaths…what’s all the fuss? Willlbuurrrr!”

Sales for the soon to be released DVD of the famed show are now expected to skyrocket. Flaccid.
