GROUP STOPS ZEPPO MARX FROM BEING OBJECT OF PITY

ROCHESTER, N.Y. (Wireless Flash) – Zeppo Marx is usually considered the “Forgotten Marx Brother.” However, some self- proclaimed “Zeppoheads” hope to make Zeppo an object worthy of admiration. The Society for the Prevention of Abuse to Zeppo – or “SPAZ” for short – has declared August “International Zeppo Awareness Month.” In the past, SPAZ members have tried to point attention to Zeppo’s talent as a straight man for Groucho, Chico and Harpo and his other qualities. This year, the group is asking folks to find a “Zeppo” in their own life – someone under appreciated – and give them credit for what they do. SPAZ spokeswoman Aimee O’Connell says the idea is to change the perception of Zeppo from someone outside the spotlight to “someone to finally appreciate for who they are and what they do.”
