I make my own pizza…you can tell it’s made with love.

Kind of like a Krabby Patty…

Actually…I have to be gluten free and I do make my own pizzas. It’s easier and cheaper than buying from a pizzaria…and not as difficult as people might expect.

Internet trolling is okay when TPM says it’s okay. Is bad when about ladies and video games, but when it’s about some dinky pizza restaurant in Nowheresville, it’s okay.

This isn’t news and it isn’t the right way to respond to bigotry.

It’s just the first amendment. Many conservatives only understand an idea is wrong when they get hit in the cash box. Bad reviews assist in the general boycott of products from companies that promote bad policies.
An they can always turn off the reviews. Josh can explain it to them.

Au contraire mon frere…it is PRECISELY how to respond to bigotry: these fuckers aren’t going to learn their lessons unless and until it COSTS them. Make bigotry expensive and suddenly you’ll see some learnin’.

It’s definitely news. This is the answer to the question Pence refused to acknowledge.

And what is wrong with accurately describing the attitude of the pizzeria owners?

Should change their name to Dominionists Pizza.

Although it doesn’t really matter, since Memories is all this pizzeria will be before long.

Opening up the Ugly usually gets a response.

This is classic case of TeaBagging idiots being totally ignorant of class and social structure. A CEO, Wall Streeter, 0.001%-er, Nabob, whatever you want to call them…these people can insult whomever they wish.

Nabobs have gated communities, flappers, bodyguards, security forces and the like. Does anyone actually believe that Charlie Koch has actually F A C E D any of the poor and working people he despises?

Now we have TeaBagging idiots, who think their white skin and/or faith makes them the EQUAL of a person of the 0.001%. Equal in the sense of being capable of insulting vast swaths of the population…

From the absolute security of being behind the counter at a pizza joint.

I agree…unfortunately, far too many people take liberty to be the same thing as license to do bad things.

It’s sad when stupid, ignorant, intolerant people take to the airwaves (and are egged-on by conservative media assholes) to hit themselves and their businesses repeatedly in the face.

Wanna know what’s really weird?

The guy with the Barillla™ bag wrote at the bottom of his pic “I’m breaking up with you.”

Yelp will take them down, since it violates their TOS. The same way they took down the reviews trolling the (if I’m not mistaken ) pizzeria owner in Florida that got all that press for hugging President Obama during the 2012 election cycle. I don’t feel too bad for them though.I’m sure they jumped on the chance for free publicity, given the national attention this law has received, and you have to take the good with the bad.
