The Death Of PumpkinCam
by John Hargrave
The media compared PumpkinCam to River Phoenix: a brief, fiery life
of success and passion, suddenly extinguished in a tragic accident.
Except that with PumpkinCam, the tragic accident was his gradual decay.
And actually, it wasn't that sudden.
You know, just skip the River Phoenix analogy. PumpkinCam was more
like Elvis: the unquestioned king of vegetables, gradually losing
his public charm. Except PumpkinCam didn't have to go through the
painful "Vegas Years," and he didn't die on the toilet.
Regardless, at 5:17 pm on October 25, PumpkinCam passed away.
The news sent a shockwave through the company: PumpkinCam
was dead.
It's quite difficult to explain how bad PumpkinCam smelled. Imagine
taking a cross-country roadtrip with twelve clowns and no soap.
Go on. I yearn for more details.
Go back. Let's remember PumpkinCam during the happier years.
