Emucamp unveils new promotion, "DancingNewsIcons.com"

A.P. -- With profits from banner hits dying down, Emucamp was in need of a new strategem for success.  They believe they have found it with the opening of their new site, "dancingnewsicons.com".

"With the extreme popularity of Dancing Hamsters, this was a logical step.  We had to do something do differentiate ourselves from the hordes of emu news sites that look exactly alike.", notes Frogacuda; Emucamp's most prolific news poster this week.

"I am the Frogacuda, a hybrid frog/baracuda from the elemental plane of funk." added Frogacuda.

The site is expected to pull in several thousand dollars per day from banner impressions and anonymous donations.  Emucamp founders are planning to use the money to take over ZTNet and put dancing icons on all hosted sites. (see bottom of page.)
