Pizza Pizza UFO
This year's Misguided Self Righteous Indignation Award goes to the Kucinich supporters (all ten of them) who took issue with this ad from Pizza Hut:
Now that's funny! But not to the Kuch supporters:
"I am going to encourage all Kucinich supporters to boycott your restaurant until you change your "debate" advertising," wrote the operator of a website called Dandelionsalad. "That was a low blow to a viable, electable presidential candidate. Consider the word OUT! I also think Pizza Hut should publicly apologize to the Congressman!"
".. it shows Dennis Kucinich mentioning "UFOs," followed by a cutaway voiceover saying "CONFUSED?" That's fucking unfair."
Yeah, its not only unfair to poke fun at the Kuch for what he said during the debates, its fucking unfair.
I don't know what they're complaining about. Pizza Hut may very well be first to give the Kuch equal time with the other candidates, getting him out there in front of middle America, right there on the TV screen. And they should apologize for what? Kucinich said what he said, and now middle America, who may have missed the debate, can laugh at it along with the rest of us. Pizza Hut's response:
The world's largest pizza chain hasn't received many complaints about the politically-oriented ad which began airing nationally last night to kick-off a new $5 pizza promotion, according to Pizza Hut Public Relations Director Jennifer Little.
She called the ad a "lighthearted way to tie into the important topic of the economy," and said Kucinich's UFO remarks were used because they were among the most memorable comments uttered in any of the presidential debates.
"We found humor in his comment, so we included it and words from all the candidates in the ad for our new Pizza Mia product," Little said. "We also want to remind people to vote in this important election, whomever they support."
Pizza Pizza!

Like a modern art exhibit, it's left up to the viewer to interpret the meaning, if the Dem's expose their lunacy in public then we must interpret that as their true nature. Especially with the Munchkin from Cleveland, he's the one that made the statement about the UFO's, Bwahahaha!!!
It's hard to distinguish that fine red line between the Democrat and the muzzy cults when it comes to their sense of outrage when confronted with the truth of their behavior, both go to the extremes and try to murder the messengers.

Pizza Hut isn't vegetarian, his supporters are not going to eat there anyway.
