Atari CEO Goes Out For Pack Of Smokes & Never Returns, Just Like Daddy
You know what they say: once you enter rehab your boyfriend dumps you, leaving you all alone with the broken pieces of your life and the lingering urge to suck perfume through the pump straw just to get a little buzz on. So it seems to be for poor Atari, who was pushed into rehab in front of the public eye.
Fulfilling the prophecy of doom, Atari's boyfriend/CEO, David Pierce, resigned today. Atari was seen fleeing the building while screaming, "Get me a f*ckin' bottle of Drakkar Noir, anything!" Meanwhile, Chief Restructuring Officer Curtis G. Solsvig III (who sounds from name and title like Atari's resident Nurse Ratchet) will be taking over Pierce's duties while the search for an executive replacement begins.

Do you watch drawn together? Cause the headline reminded me of a recent episode where Foxxy is reunited with her father who left for a pack of smokes and never came back.
