Beer Ad Causes Evacuation
I hate flashy ads and apparently one beer company might re think theirs after causing the evacuation of a resort. What I don’t get is how the guy didn’t know it was an ad. I guess I’d have to see a picture of it to see just how dumb the employee who called the cops was, but sheesh, he must have been a bit embarrassed!
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. Via Cnn
