Police and paramedics arrived Saturday at the mansion of multi-millionaire Sergey Brin after receiving a 911 call from the Google co-founder saying that he was “gripped by fear.”
It turns out Brin meant it literally.
When officers arrived, they found Brin being held from behind by punk singer Lee Ving while other members of Ving’s band--Fear--tickled the Russian-born innovator into what initial reports described as “near hysteria.”
Ving was apparently disgruntled over Google’s refusal to utilize “differentiation encoding” that would make Fear information on the Internet easy to find. “As it stands,” said Danny Hutton, the Three Dog Night singer who managed Fear in the 1980s, “people searching for Fear have to wade through one phobia page after another.
“But to Lee’s credit,” Hutton added, “I didn’t even know he knew words like differentiation and encoding.”
Meanwhile, Brin has ordered Google employees to supply him with information about the pop crooner Bing Crosby.
“Sergey is superstitious,” said a source. “He believes that immersing himself in someone as ’unpunk’ as Bing will ward off future assaults from not only Fear but also the Sex Pistols.”
