  A man named Noid, apparently annoyed by Domino's Pizza's "Avoid the Noid" ads, held two Domino's employees at gunpoint for more than five hours before they escaped and he surrendered after ordering and eating a pizza, authorities said today.

    The Noid wasn’t just a terrible corporate mascot. He annoyed one man to his death.
