STORE MASCOT IN BIRD COSTUME ATTACKED

HAVE YOU HEARD? About the bird? Well, this is a bird of a different feather. A Katy, Texas store mascot dressed as a giant bird was attacked by two thugs outside the furniture emporium where he worked. The bird was injured in the attack. His costume was also ripped.
ACCORDING TO KTRK: 'Birdie' the mascot uses a little comedy to entice people into a southeast Houston furniture store on weekends, but it wasn't too funny when he was attacked during his shift Saturday.  
 "It felt like a truck hit me," said Russ Vogel.

"Getting us a lot of advertisement, people driving by, just stopping by, wanting to see what the bird is about," said Zeke Cervantez with
Exclusive Furniture.

 Vogel fingers movies and YouTube videos as the culprits. "I guess this is life imitates art, because there have been a couple of movies, where the guy is dressed as a burger and somebody comes by and body slams him and knocks him down," Vogel said.
