Cornflakes, Frosties and Co-co Pops have all indicated they will take industrial action at the beginning of the week after it was revealed that a former serial killer who ate his victims, has been made CEO of Kellogs.
Many other breakfast staples have indicated that they too will partake in the morning world wide 'no-show', as a show - of support - until the new boss is removed from his post. Bran flakes and bran buds are said to be opposed to the move because they are just sad.
Said one frostie, which was willing to speak to us,"How can we be expected to do our, already difficult job; staying fresh and crisp, when we know there is a cereal killing nutjob at the helm of our once proud company?"
The frostie continued: "Many of MUNCH's (Masticatable Union of Nice Cereals and Hybrids) members have become limp and tasteless with perspiration caused by worry and are having to attend occupational therapy for stress counselling. So, we will not be turning up for breakfast on Monday or ever.. until this fiend is sacked."
However, further developments are understood to have occurred last night and we at this news outlet now believe that the whole affair was as a result of a spelling misunderstanding all along. It appears that the popular morning-noon-midnight morsels thought serial killer meant murderer of foodstuffs.
The erstwhile 'hunger-strikers' are now ready to discuss returning to breakfast tables worldwide...to be eaten... without violence or malice aforethought and with or without milk.
