 100,000 Pennies From Heaven - Defamer
After Ronald Schwary, a producer for a Paramount Network TV series, bought off some residents whose noisy tree trimming was interfering with his nearby location shoot for $1,000, he sent them 20 bags containing 100,000 pennies.
The insulted residents then missed a golden opportunity to convert those pennies into several cases of Massengill Spring Fresh disposable douches and send them to Schwary and Paramount to continue the hilarity, but they did eventually get the studio to pony up a more traditional check and an extra grand for charity as restitution.
Obviously, Viacom's dapper co-dictator Les Moonves had no hand in the events, as the 20 bags of pennies weren't dropped through the residents' roof from a helicopter, nor was their pet cocker spaniel set on fire to send a message to future residential negotiators.
