For those who don't know the Noid or the demise of the Noid here is what happened to him.
In the 1980s, Domino's Pizza was well known for its advertisements featuring The Noid. Customers were implored to order from Domino's in order to "avoid the Noid." In 1989, a man, Kenneth Lamar Noid, 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, Noid surrendered to police. Noid was charged with kidnapping, aggravated assault, extortion, and possession of a firearm during a crime, but he was found not guilty by reason of insanity. Contrary to popular belief, this incident did not cause Domino's to pull the "Noid" campaign off the air; in reality, Noid creator and owner Will Vinton Studios asked for a larger amount of money for continued use of the Noid character, and Domino's chose not to renew its contract.
Here's a picture of the Noid.

Domino's reneged on their deal and now serves ice cold pizza, thanks to the Noid.
