No matter what my political view point, the President has always gotten my respect that the office of the Presidency deserves.

If you go to the website make sure you throw the little devils about.

I believe they still have the movie where they ambush a rival pizza company mascot on the site as well.

I think it was fine until "evil bastards." "Hell is too good for some people" would have been fine.

Also, whoever suggested they run this ad is incredibly stupid--I mean, lets see, they could easily lose half of the market in the US by taking political views. Not to mention that if the OP didnt mention that it was for a pizza place, there is really very little way to tell that it is for a pizza place, effectively NOT advertising pizza. Also, I don't see an address, other than the website. Do they not have any real branches, as in web-order only? If not, they should provide not only an address, but directions from the location of the billboard on how to get to them.

Furthermore, and I'm going out on a limb to say this, but givin that you cannot prove that Bush is a bastard (going by the technical definition of illigitimate child) would this not be like libel or somehting? Probably not, esp. given that it is indeed a pizza ad, but just a thought.

Politics and pizza just dont mix.

Bush? Respect?



I don't care what the religious right says he is, or what 59 million voters said he became, he's a monkey.

loki74 - look closer, the ad is in new zealand so there's no chance of them losing many customers over this, and even less of getting sued.

I should send them this link to them. Might get me some free pizza!!11!!

And to Loki who said, "Also, whoever suggested they run this ad is incredibly stupid--I mean, lets see, they could easily lose half of the market in the US by taking political views."

In NZ I would say about 80%, if not more think that that Bush is an evil fsck, so tell me now this is bad marketing. If you push it to the youth market that eat the pizza, then I would say 95%. "Who wooda thunk it?"

How much for custom etched triangles ? Can I get one, too ?
You should sell them on eBay.

I highly doubt Roosevelt is burning in the darkest place in hell right now. That quote was probably just said by someone loosing a war and needed help from people taking a neutral stance.
