Costume Shop Lady Hijacks Local News Interview (MUST WATCH)

thumbnail icon: Costume Shop Lady Hijacks Local News Interview (MUST WATCH)

Matt at Warming Glow found this AMAZING local news failed interview with a costume shop owner accused of cyberstalking a competitor. It will be nothing less than a new internet classic that you have to watch RIGHT NOW. I'm serious. You will laugh so hard you will cry. This is some serious I Like Turtles/Leprechaun/Grape Stomping Lady legendary shit:

I've only watched this three times so far, but I'm already singing "What does that mean? I don't know any-body named that!" Attention documentary filmmakers: these sisters could be your own personal Grey Gardens. Go get 'em! (Note: I can't confirm whether this video is "real" or not, but it's on the official site of the news station, Channel 10 in Providence, RI.)

i feel like we just stumbled on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre farm all over again!

Femskin (or Buffalo Bill, for that matter) has nothing on these sisters.

You would think the novelty of working in a costume shop would eventually wear off but these goofy women are in there trying on different stuff all day long. Too funny. The one who's charged with cyberstalking reminded me a little bit of the hyperactive little sister character that Amy Poehler used to do on SNL.

How does she expect to get away with any crime when she drives around town in a car with a giant SpongeBob on top of it!!

it's posted on the Channel 10 site on 4/2--think it's an April Fool's thing. Channel 10 pulls some ridiculous business, but usually Gene Valicenti is the face for that kind of thing.

Yay! I love channel 10, too!
Did she say something about Matt Lauer at the end?

Yea, put me down as April Fool's joke. I think the Channel 10 team has been watching too much Reno 911.

this was made possible by the fact that Providence is full of absolute crazies.

top story on channel 10 that night: "another local nut frustrates area reporter's attempts to appear the serious journalist." humiliating, but hilarious.

"Matt Lauer was better!" is what I think she says.

And for that, she wins.

I need to become a police officer so just so I can say "I'm the arresting officer, my name is Bootsy."

I did not think this video could live up to your hype, Lindsay, but it did. Yes it did.

This is totally real. If you google these people's names, you'll see news reports about this case from the Boston Globe, etc. Fantastic.

This video changed my life. I've been going about things all wrong. I'm going to take a 3-day weekend to do a major overhaul. There will be costumes.

Incredible that one costume shop owner would find it necessary to stalk a different costume shop owner, let alone decide that being a costume shop owner is a legitimate, viable way of life.

Listen closely. She is either Kerri Kenney-Silver from The State/Reno 911 or very closely related.
