Sep 18 2008KITT Stolen During Publicity Event In Canada
Allegedly KITT, from the new Knight Rider series, was stolen during a publicity event in Toronto last week. I call FAKE and VIRAL.
The car was making a stop in Toronto for a publicity stunt in front of Union Station on Front Street. The car was being unloaded from its transport trailer for a crowd of onlookers. When its handler turned her back for a moment, a man darts from the median, jumps into the still-running ride, and peels off heading East on Front Street.
Apparently the car has yet to be found, and to date has not been exposed as a publicity stunt. I call complete and utter shenanigans. Regardless, I'm sure KITT will turn himself on and return to Mike's side any minute now.
UPDATE: Yep, aaaaaany minute now....
UPDATE: FAXOR! (thanks Giblet, now get your buddy Gravy over here and we'll have ourselves a feast)

Thanks to Arthur and Ray, who once beat KITT in a potato sack race.

Fake, the shadows are all wrong. Isn't that just a scene from Never Back Down?

Under NAFTA, Canada is now spelled Canda by the Americans, who felt it was unjust that we Candies (as we're now called) got more 'a' action in our country's name.
Hey Mesico! Kiss that 'x' goodbye!

Did the theif say "YOINK!" because if not... he has to bring KITT back...
15. Tap - September 18, 2008 3:24 PM
Someone didn't steal KITT. The car drove off on its own after deciding it wasn't being paid enough.
16. Thumperchica - September 18, 2008 3:24 PM
BTW- I just stole KITT and ran over a horse... Damned Mr. Ed asked me for a donation! WTF!!!

When Mr. Feeny was the brains inside KITT this kinda shit never happened. F***in' bologna.
Also: Fake.

Now, horses are great and all, but you're not soliciting "donations" so much as you are "pipe bombs."
Chill out, and ah, maybe find something vaguely horse or animal related to spam.

“Wednesday, the network producing the show revealed the car had been “KITTnapped” as part of a “unique viewer engagement promotion” in which one fan will win a new Ford Mustang.”

hmmm if it is real, doubtful but if, then someone give that man a medal and some hookers for such heroic actions.
Also get those platinum balls of his appraised for value because they gotta be huge.
