I thought someone was kidding when I read this headline:

Hotel owner Joe Mahon plans to throw 50 live turkeys from the top of a 100-foot clock tower to see if they can fly.

One notable comment:

A similar pompous and vulgar businessman several years ago here in the U.S. tossed turkeys from a helicopter and laughed.

Yikes! Someone needs to send this guy the season 1 WKRP DVD's stat so he can learn from Aurthur Carlson's mistake and not be doomed to repeat it!

...according to the owner he had no intention of throwing live turkeys, in the past he has thrown paper-mache toy turkeys in a charity event for cancer.
