on HN thread 2007 Boston Mooninite Panic

hah. the best press conference of all time was held by the marketing guys after they were "caught". they refused to answer questions about anything other than their hair, and i remember some witty reporter asking them what theyd do about their hair if they went to jail. caught them off guard, hah. edit - here it is, beautiful [this video]
