FILLIO EMPIRE HEADQUARTERS RELOCATES

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

HOLLY SPRINGS, NC, February 29, 2008 -- After nearly eight years inside the Beltway, the Fillio Family has migrated south.

“We’d been thinking about this business decision for several years now,” noted CEO and husband Chris, “and the right opportunity finally came along. The timing, the job offer, the recession…it just seemed to make sense.”

Citing a longtime desire to leave behind the brutal winters of Northern Virginia, co-CEO and wife Val echoed the earlier sentiments.

“I just got fed up eventually with the weather. All the snow shoveling, chipping ice off the front steps, scraping the car window in the morning. After awhile you get tired of continually having to ask your husband to do all those things. Criminy…time to move on.”

The Fillio children were as emphatic though not as verbose in their consent.

“I want a super dinosaur monster truck and peanut butter chocolate Oreos and big hundred million Speed Racer cars!” screamed Alex.

“Baaazlblaagh,” noted Zoe in complete agreement with her elder sibling.

At a recent press conference in their new hometown, Chris was grilled about widespread rumors throughout the liberal media that this latest strategic decision was politically motivated.

“Look, we’d had enough of George Bush’s failed policies. We simply weren’t going to stay around if he was coming back for another four years. As Dick Van Patten used to say, eight is enough!”

When informed that term limits precluded such a third term, Chris threw his shoe at the reporter and ran out of the press room yelling, “The North shall rise again!!!”
