<p>In a game touted as the biggest fad since &#8220;robo tripping&#8221; in the early 90&#8242;s, the broom game, made popular by Ellen DeGeneres and now adopted by Ze Frank and his so-called &#8220;Color Wars&#8221;, are causing dizziness, bruises, contusions, and vomiting all over the world.</p>
<p>Yesterday, in Lincoln, Nebraska a group of Twitterers (members of the now popular social networking site Twitter.com) varying in age from 14 to 42 were attempting to make a video for Frank&#8217;s Color Wars when 3 of the broom game contestants took out a number of bystanders, the camera operator/commentator, and Grammie. 12 were injured in the onslaught. None of those involved wished to be identified.</p>
<p>One twitterer, who only wished to be referred to as @anonymous stated, &#8220;It was one thing to have to put up with all the colored icons, and GO TEAM BURNT SIENNA&#8217;s &#8211; but this is just senseless. When will the madness stop!&#8221;</p>
<p>Families of the victims are holding a candle light vigil tonight donning all black and white in protest of the Color Wars.</p>
<p>Jenifer Bolton, daughter of one of the victims mournfully avowed, &#8220;Mr. Frank, you&#8217;ve driven our children from our homes brooms in hand. They spin until they&#8217;re dizzy with delight, until they fall down, or until someone gets hurt. We won&#8217;t stand for this! The broom game, these wars MUST STOP! Or at least, umm, you know make it 5 spins or something.&#8221;</p>
<p>A child watching the interview with Ms. Bolton shouted &#8220;Why did Grammie have to die!&#8221; Grammie, in fact, did not die &#8211; but she did apparently suffer a broken hip.</p>
<p>What will come of these wars? No good I&#8217;m sure. We&#8217;ll just have to stay tuned and see how many others must fall before Frank&#8217;s brightly blazoned battle is brought to a screeching halt. Crayola denies involvement. Frank was not available for comment.</p>
