Moron Brothers Getting Huge Attention From "Bologna Video"

The Moron Brothers, known for their humorous and folksy style songs have scored some new fans and a lot of new "Facebook Friends" thanks to their song and accompanying video about their favorite lunchmeat - Bologna.

Every Friday on their Facebook Page, they have a running dialog with fans about the attributes of bologna.


We asked why they think they've hit a nerve with bologna lovers of the world and banjoist, Lardo, explained. "Bologna was something special growing up," he said, "most everything we ate we either had to kill or grow ourselves but bologna came from the store and that was a treat."

Today we discovered that The Gibson Brothers shared one of their humorous incidents with the public on their social media pages.
