Newsflash: Grant Burgess Detained in Norh Korea



Well it looks like our Zepfest promotor is in trouble with the customs 
officials when he 
was trying to enter the other day. Here's part of the story:
A Canadian man has been detained by North Korean officials as he?s been accused 
of plotting 
to disrupt a military parade. The Canadian has been identified as Grant Burgess 
of Canada. 
Burgess was detained by customs officials when they saw that he had a large 
container which 
contained 20,000 marbles. North Korean customs officials also found in 
Burgess?s possession 
plans to convert a black Korean car into what North Korean officials describe 
as a "deathmobile".
The North Korean officials believe that it was Burgess's intent to drive in 
front of the parading 
soldiers and release the 20,000 marbles.
The Canadian Embassy were able to successfully get Burgess released from the 
North Korean 
authorities, however Burgess did end up losing his marbles. When asked about 
the accusation 
to disrupt the parade in a deathmobile and releasing marbles on the marching 
Korean Soldiers, 
all Burgess would say is ; I guess the movie Animal House was a hit over here 
too?.
