London - Although much better at synchronized swimming, London's Order of Were-Hippopotami were forced to respond today to their dismal 2006 General Horror Index Rating as compared to their brothers in lycanthropy the Werewolves.
"The General Horror Index is very much slanted towards the actual killing or mutilation of people as opposed to just insanely wasting their money," Were-Hippopotami spokesman Nigel Fatone announced today in a hastily organized press conference. "We were sure that our £2m indents for the BBC would raise our Horror quotient quite significantly but alas it wasn't enough to compete with a bloody mangled up bloody body Werewolf crime scene. All we ever attack when the moon is full is a large clump of vegetation."
The Royal Order of London Werewolves also held a press conference in response to the General Horror Index announcement today but there weren't any reporters brave enough to cover it and Werewolves are way too Attention Deficit Disorder afflicted to sit down and type out a press release or even maintain a blog so the world will never know exactly how they made fun of the Were-Hippopotami but rest assuredly they did.
