Avoid The 'Noid
Many years ago Dominoes Pizza unleashed an ad campaign called "Avoid The 'Noid." The 'Noid was this little figure dressed in a superhero costume who caused all kinds of problems with the pizza delivery process. He had a machine to smash the pizza box down onto the pizza, techniques to slow the delivery of the pizza, leading to a cold, glutinous product, and other hijinks and bedevilments. The 'Noid had a high-pitched, staccato voice and he was quite the disruptive imp, lovable, really, in his predicament-making.
Pretty funny, right?
Turns out there was a dude in Georgia whose last name was Noid. He was not a healthy man. He believed that the ad campaign was directed at him personally, like Avoid The Seaweed. Noid loses it, takes some hostages at a Dominoes store (demanding that his prisoners make him a pizza which he eats during the seige) before the standoff ends.
This is me. This is my world view. I believe everyone is thinking about me. I believe I am the center of attention. I am not a healthy man.
A 'Noid - annoyed. Get it?
