News outlets the world over covered
the giant talking watermelon story. Who wouldn't be excited, after
all? It had sensationalism. Man grows ten ton watermelon! It had
human interest. Giant watermelon grown by unemployed man with a
dream! And of course, dear heavens, a talking watermelon!
People flocked from all over the world to speak with the sentient melon. For months, the small town of Iloosa, Pennsylvania found tiself overrun with tourists, filling their hotels, eating in their restaurants, buying their “I Had A Conversation With A Watermelon” commemorative sourviner t-shirt and travel mug.
Thanks to the power of the internet and video sharing, soon people realized that as awesome as the idea of a talking watermelon is, that's how unawesome a talking watermelon actually was. Turned out, watermelons were boring and only wanted to talk about rain and soil and sun.
