Viotex Requesting Bailout $

The Midtoon Herald, February 6, 2009

Biotechnology giant Viotex Corporation entered a plea to the City of Midtoon requesting money to pay the creditors, a spokesperson for the company said today. "We cannot survive another quarter without some influx of money", said the spokesperson, clearly affected by the news. "We have done all we can, including giving our senior executives the highest bonuses in the market, but the economic climate is just not there".

According to some animal rights groups, Viotex Corporation has been recently working in a secret project involving the  cloning of animals, but the organization has not been able to obtain evidence. Cloning is not allowed in Midtoon as per Ordinance 312-23 L, subsection H-23 passed in 1996 right after a movie where Michael Keaton cloned himself. Eager to stop the possibility of being invaded by a multiplicity of Mr. Keatons, Voters elected to make cloning illegal.

The Company has not admitted or denied the charges, but has brought cloning twice to the courts, in what seems an attempt to justify their secret project. Gary Gordon, Executive Vice President of Secret Projects told us in a telephone interview that "Viotex Corporation is not working in any illegal projects here in Midtoon, and if we were, we obviously would not tell you". 

Smart move, Mr. Gordon, but we will eventually get you...
