Tootsie
Breaking News:
The World May Never Know
TV Land - The Tootsie Pop Owl (real name Mortimer Snuggleputz), who famously proved that it only took three licks to reach the Tootsie Roll center of a Tootsie Pop, has died of alcohol poisoning. Authorities have pieced together a sordid tale that started with bad representation and corrupt handlers and ended in a pool of his own urine, feces and vomit. He was 47.
Facing rejection from such shows as "Surreal Life" and having had his copyright infringement lawsuit against Columbia Pictures for the movie "Tootsie" rejected, he signed on as a time traveling judge to find out how many shots it would take to sleep with a member of St. Kristina's Anti-Hootch Goon Squad (SKAGS).

Witnesses say he collapsed while reaching for the twenty-fifth shot, having already drank his own body weight, and that attempts at mouth-to-beak resuscitation were unsuccessful in reviving him (though the same witnesses say that people that attempted the performance were "skull fucked drunk" after said attempts).
He left behind no children or relatives. Handlers of his estate requested that Tootsie Pop "Indian" wrappers be sent in lieu of flowers.
