Mime Suffocates in Own Invisible Box

Local - 2007

Local mime Jean-Marc Trudeau tragically suffocated to death on the streets of Boston yesterday as dozens of bystanders neglected to help him escape his invisible box. Although Trudeau traditionally had no trouble making his exit from his box, preliminary investigation found that this day's container was exceptionally heavy, with police sources reporting the container was 2 to 4 inches thick.

Bostonians stood utterly and hopelessly confused at the scene yesterday. "How do you suffocate in an imaginary box?" asked one witness, clearly unable to cope with the tragedy. He went on to explain, "My invisible boxes always have an airhole. Dumbass."

Trudeau's all-mime family held his funeral last afternoon, with the late mime being interred in an invisible casket. A Trudeau family spokesman had no comment, instead choosing to make an exaggerated frowny-face.
