I just couldn't NOT post this.

-----HOT NEWS FLASH-----

This just in from The Bakersfield Bakers' Journal:


The world of entertainment was stunned and saddened today by the news that yet another icon of TV advertising has passed away.


The Pillsbury Dough Boy, beloved icon of TV and print ads, died yesterday at home. Doctors attributed his passing to a severe yeast infection coupled with traumatic injuries to his abdomen, believed to be caused by repeated pokes to his belly. The Dough Boy was 71 years old. Dough Boy is survived by his wife of 43 years, Play Dough, and their three children, John Dough, Jane Dough and their youngest Dill Dough. Family friends say that Jill even now has one "in the oven".
Services were held at Hot Point at 3:50 for about twenty minutes.

Dear Phottoman,

I was sent an earlier item.

Dear friends,

The Pillsbury Doughboy died several years ago of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes in the belly. He was 71. First reports were incomplete, but today we bring you the full story.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin. Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker, Hostess Twinkies, and Captain Crunch. The grave site was piled high with flours. Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.

Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much dough on half baked schemes. Despite being a little flaky at times, he still was a crusty old man and was considered a positive roll model for millions.

Doughboy is survived by his second wife Play Dough, and three children: John Dough, Jane Dough and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the oven. He is also survived by his elderly father, Pop Tart. The funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes. His first wife, Sue Flay, had collapsed and could not attend.
