Bethel, Alaska's hopes for a Taco Bell are crushed.

"In what has been described as an evil hoax, the town of Bethel, Alaska, has learned it is not getting a Taco Bell. Not now. Not ever."

An "evil hoax"? That's a bit of melodrama, isn't it? Does this really sound like the work of The Red Skull or Lex Luthor or Blofeld? If so, they're really running low on evil ideas.
