Only Kryptonite Can Stop The Presses

Tuesday, Halloween night, Brian Tierney invited all his employees to the Kimmel Center for a Philly Pops concert. It was all part of his plan to improve morale without actually signing a new contract with the Newspaper Guild.

It being Halloween, Tierney arrived in a suit, then came back outside the Kimmel Center to greet union protesters in a Superman outfit. (Who knew the Kimmel Center had a phone booth?)

Fast forward to this morning, when Tierney is speaking at the Pennsylvania Newspapers Association, which is holding its convention in Philly. Someone has the hotel deliver a package to Tierney that he needs for his speech. What does Tierney get? A piece of kryptonite.

Cute, guys, but until you make a Scooby Doo parody video, the staffers in York are way ahead of you.
