Michael Jackson and Tim Hortons join to support Atomic

Vancouver, June 17, 2010 – Setting out on a long ride around Surrey on a cloudy Sunday morning, the last thing our members expected to find was support in the shape of a classic Jacko tune and the comforting arms of a Timmy’s donut. But that’s exactly what they found.

“Just when we thought we couldn’t get any lower, this great Michael Jackson song came on the radio, and the red and golden hues of the interior of the Tim Horton’s really came alive, giving us all hope and courage to carry on”, said Andrew Wilson, membership director.

The group found themselves unexpectedly waiting for a local bike shop to open, the result of a slashed tire on Wilson’s bike. “Boom!”, said Wilson, “I rode over something and my tire ripped. We had to do a sort of camp repair on it and limp to the nearest shop”.

Taking refuge in a nearby Tim Horton’s, the group was ready to call it quits and head home in taxis when the King of Pop came on the airwaves, spurring the group to continue.

Atomic wasn’t sure whether the Michael Jackson estate and Tim Horton’s were going to team up permanently to offer support and sponsorhip, but “it could happen, sure”, said Wilson. Representatives of Tim Horton’s and the Jackson estate could not be reached for comment.

“Great double bacon cheesburger”, said Dave Johnson.
