Casino Sends Aliens To Harvest Organs Of Anti-Casino Folks

In their quest to invalidate the petitions attempting to get a question on the May 15 primary ballot banning casinos from the city, lawyers for SugarHouse casino are doing the only thing they can to make the community one day perhaps love their gambling mecca in close proximity to Johnny Brenda’s.

The Daily News writes a lawyer from SugarHouse and a private investigator knocked on the door of petition signer Cindy Farlino and showed her the petition she signed, asking if it was indeed her signature. After replying in the affirmative, they then asked to talk to her lawyer.

“I looked at it and said, ‘Yes, that’s my signature,’ ” Farlino told the Daily News. “Then they said, ‘Do you have a lawyer, because we’ll talk to him.’ That took me aback, made me feel like I did something wrong.”

The woman said she wasn’t answering any more questions after the two men showed her their IDs, and the two people hung out flipping through petitions in front of her house before driving away. (And, apparently they popped the hatchback so the woman couldn’t get a shot of the license plate. Hopefully the car’s spare tire fell out or something.)

Meanwhile, Casino Free Philadelphia filed an appeal against both Foxwoods and SugarHouse, citing “government-sanctioned creation of public nuisances and vice factories.” You might think those words are a bit strong, but look at the photo the Daily News ran on the cover: The casinos are sending green mutant men to intimidate the petition signers. It’s only fair.
