No good humor in frosty Pa. frozen-treat feud

UNIONTOWN, Pa.

Police are hoping the threat of losing their permits will be enough to thaw the frosty relationship of two Pennsylvania ice-cream-truck drivers accused of trying to run each other off the road.

The Herald-Standard of Uniontown reported that police told the rival vendors to chill out after a dispute last week.

Authorities say the wife of one vendor told police the other man tried to run her husband off the road.

The implicated ice-cream driver disputes the woman’s account, saying it was her husband who tried to force him off the road. He also claimed the man had returned his good-humored hello by shouting an expletive.

‘Greatest Movie Ever Sold’ is not so hot in Pa. city

POM WONDERFUL PRESENTS: THE GREATEST MOVIE EVER SOLD, Pa.

The greatest movie ever sold hasn’t sold many tickets in the Pennsylvania city that got a pretty penny for the naming rights.

The Altoona Mirror reported that four people attended the city’s first paid showing of “POM Wonderful Presents: The Greatest Movie Ever Sold.” The city of Altoona temporarily renamed itself after the movie at a ceremony last month with “Super Size Me” director Morgan Spurlock. Spurlock gave the city a $25,000 donation.

The city 85 miles east of Pittsburgh also hosted a premiere then, but it was invite-only.

Gary and Daphne Gordon marked their 20th anniversary by attending Thursday afternoon’s showing at the Carmike Park Hills Plaza 7 Theatre with their two sons.

Gary Gordon called the low attendance surprising, but 15-year-old Nicholas called the movie “flat-out fun and hilarious.”
