hah. the best press conference of all time was held by the marketing guys after they were "caught". they refused to answer questions about anything other than their hair, and i remember some witty reporter asking them what theyd do about their hair if they went to jail. caught them off guard, hah. edit - here it is, beautiful [VIDEO]

Here is a video of the press conference. I'm the one on the left. I think given everything we held it together pretty well. [VIDEO]

Of course, the best part about that Aqua Teen "bomb scare" was how the guys that were charged for putting up blinking LEDs (and their lawyer) handled the press: "That's not a hair question". [VIDEO]
