* It's fake? Well that figure. Trust but verify, dammit. Had to figure it might be, as no business owner in NYC would dare stand up to that tyrant. *


Quote:

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was denied a second slice of pizza today at an Italian eatery in Brooklyn.

The owners of Collegno's Pizzeria say they refused to serve him more than one piece to protest Bloomberg's proposed soda ban,which would limit the portions of soda sold in the city.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

Witnesses say the situation unfolded when as the two were looking over budget documents, they realized they needed more food than originally ordered.
"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.

"I'm sorry sir," he replied, "we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit."

Mayor Bloomberg, not accustomed to being challenged, assumed that the owner was joking.

"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."

"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."

"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I [censored] skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some [censored] pizza, okay."

"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. "Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories."

Witnesses say a fuming Bloomberg and a bemused Liu did indeed walk down the street to a rival pizzeria , ordered another slice and finished their meeting.

The sad thing about this is, the restaurant will likely be shut down before too long. I'm sure health inspectors will find enough ' issues' to bury this guy.

Bril.

But my headline wouldve been:

Fat billionaire joo mayor furious after restaurant kicks him out for exceeding 'pizza slice limit'

Yes the pizzaria can expect a $60,000 fine for slice of pizza shaped like a gun.

Fred Shayes, who owns US Camera & Computer Inc. in Midtown, N.Y., was fined $60,000 for selling three-inch lighters because they looked too much like real guns.

Why would you think this being completely bogus would ever stop rappyboy from presenting it as fact?

Thanx, Blue, I got a good laugh out of it, too, so you get the prize for the first sputter of the morning (I won't charge you for the chai-laced keyboard). Should go to Rap I suppose, but since HE put it up as being something real, your letting us in on he and Drudge being duped is what made me sputter.

We all know Rap has limited news "sources", so this shouldn't have surprised anyone... I'll do it for you...

HEY RAP:

What makes it even funnier, is not only is it suckering so many dim-witted right wingers - it's a complete misunderstanding of what they're supposedly standing up against in the first place. Bloomberg's ban doesn't prevent multiple servings, its solely related to the size of a single serving. If they story had been that they refused to sell him an extra large slice - it would be an apt parallel - but that's not the case.

Fooled by a bullshit story.... which even if true, would have been an illustration of pure ignorance - and they're eating it up.

Priceless!

I know! And Drudge does this stuff for a living. I don't make that kind of $, so...

( and Storybook, again you miss the point. This IS totally believable because it's not up to the mayor to tell business what size serving or how many of something they can sell to their customers. But since you're such a good little sycophant and lover of BIG NANNY, the concept is above you.

I get that. I REALLY do! )
