The Peculiar Press: It Was Working Retail That Killed The Beast!

In Texas, a fire erupted and swept across a popular shopping mall after an inflatable gorilla, set up as a promotional tool to bring in new customers, ran amuck on its rooftop.  The fire started when the gorilla slowly began to deflate and landed on a set of hot lights used to illuminate the balloon. Firefighters arrived on the scene before any severe damage could occur, but two stores did suffer water damage. Fortunately nobody was injured in the blaze except for the gorilla, who’s charred remains were scattered about the scene. As of yet, the gorilla’s family has not made an official statement.
