Ah ha! I knew it was from a commercial in the 80s but I was thinking it was also some legit superhero. Thanks!

Avoid the Noid!

**nepalnt21** · 04-10-2007, 08:40 AM

perhaps it was the noid who shouldve avoided me

Yeah that's the Noid from Domino's pizza ads many moons ago. There was a guy named Howard Noid (IIRC on the Howard part) that had mental issues and shot and killed himself and possibly a pizza delivery guy all because of the ad slogan "Avoid the noid" that Domino's used to use.

He thought it was a plot against him by Dominos.
I almost forgot about that ad campaign. I used to have some Noid plastic characters that came with the pizzas.

EDIT: I was wrong his name wasn't Howard and what he did. Here is an excerpt from Wikipedia. No wonder I remember this. It happened in Atlanta. I guess you remember wrong when you are a 9 year old watching the news!! LOL!!!

"Kenneth Lamar Noid

In 1989, Kenneth Lamar Noid, a mentally ill customer who thought the ads were a personal attack on him, held two employees of an Atlanta, Georgia Domino's restaurant hostage for over five hours. After forcing them to make him a pizza and making demands for $100,000, getaway transportation and a copy of The Widow's Son, Noid surrendered to the police.[2]

Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion and possession of a firearm during a crime. He was found not guilty by reason of insanity."
