The Monster Mash

 Colorado’s Mesa County Sheriff’s Dept. got the report – people had seen a bizarre video uploaded to Facebook which showed a man dancing in an open grave “while he mimicked a rock and roll music video,” the resulting report said. “I observed that music had been attached to the video and [the suspect] sang that he was a monster.” This was no air guitar riff – the man in the video was using a shovel as a guitar. Deputies traced the video to Christopher Redd, 27, of Clifton, Colo., who explained he was trying to win free tickets to the local Rock Jam festival. Redd, a grave-digger at the Memorial Gardens cemetery in Grand Junction, insists that the vault he danced on was empty, and the video was filmed before the woman who ended up inside was buried. Redd was not only fired, he didn’t win the lip-sync contest – because he was unable to fulfill the requirement to upload the video to YouTube.

A THOUGHT: Maybe he was trying to follow a “dead link”.
