Rainbow Fired

Staff editor Oscar Rainbow was fired Monday evening in an attempt by the Jerk to distance itself from the accused foot odor killer. Rainbow has had a checkered past, which includes countless slayings, two trips to O'Shoogie insane asylum and a heated argument with a ladder that resulted in the abduction of Flip Derner (Kleppitch Times, May 19, 2010).

Staff dictator Emmitt McKenna said the firing was "permanent" and that all of Rainbow's socks were confiscated and burned. No plans have been made to hire a replacement.

Rainbow Kills 8

Breaking News from HQ this morning as Staff Lunatic Oscar Rainbow has struck again. Thought to have been locked away in a rubber room, Rainbow escaped late Sunday night according to Ollie Venkman. Rainbow snuck into HQ around 4 AM and offed 4 sleeping staff members, one already dead man (Bill), and three unknowns that were apparently hanging around HQ in the middle of the night. While the method of slaying is yet unknown, it is believed Rainbow killed them all via foot odor.

DeLatardo Let Go

Hey Jerk has announced the firing of Ralph "Once A Day" DeLatardo. The 43-year old was seen in the woods behind Jerk headquarters shouting obscenities at a tree branch Sunday evening and editor Capolo made the announcement shortly after.

"We've all had enough of DeLatardo and his antics. He spends most of his time in the woods and the guy refuses to wipe his coolie," Capolo said.

After the firing, DeLatardo removed his dungarees and ran into wheelbarrow traffic.

BREAKING: GLENN DEAD

In shocking, horrific news, it is currently being reported that staff founder and president Fat Neck Glenn Minkus has been found dead this evening, as of 10:14 GST. Local reporter Woodford Chotchke was roaming the streets around HQ, naked, and spotted Glenn crumpled into a ball in a nearby sewage drain.


Glenn (DEAD)





"As I walked by, farting, I noticed a brown, wet piece of crumpled paper in the sewer. I looked down and heard whispering. Soon enough I realized this to be the great Rodney "Fat Neck" Glenn Minkus, who was saying "The GaHorry's won't get away with this...." with his last breath on this Earth."


This shocking revalation was not without more suprise, however, as new, self-appointed Staff Ruler Gary GaHorry quickly admitted to the assassination, claiming supremacy over The Jerk.


Gahorry (Staff Leader)



GaHorry, speaking through his secretary Gary Appleseed GaHorry Jr., had the following to say:


"I am now the leader here at The Jerk. Things will change now. No longer will the Glenns rule with a cardboard fist. The GaHorry reign will be painful, deadly, and full of odor."


As the reality of this shock settles in, The Jerk will continue to have around the clock coverage of the events as they unfold.

Faltering Brumm Family Receives Reinforcements

The Brumm Family, which is quickly being annihilated in the Pococcio/Brumm War, have received reinforcements on the eve of killing on of their own (Febber Brumm). The Brumm family was about to collapse and kill off the rest of family themselves until they learned that they now have the support of the Plu and Baganna families, led by Travis and Bologna respectively.

Travis Plu


Bologna Baganna

The Plus and Bagannas have been established families in Hey Jerk society for over 5 minutes, and their support should be considered unwavering. While the Brumm family is still a bunch of inexcusable losers, the Plus and Bagannas will most likely enhance their chances at survival for at least another week before the showdown in Rainbow Sewers.

Febber Brumm Killed

Another casualty of the Brumm-Pococcio conflict has been reported as Col. Febber Brumm was assassinated by his own troops near Glenn Pond.
