The Pizza Predicament
Afishionados,
I ordered a pizza yesterday from PizzaHut.com. And I saw something profoundly retarded on their web site, which I feel compelled to share with you.
Here is a clip from a screenshot of their online ordering web site. I’ve sized it down so it fits on the Fish, but you get the idea.
Pizza Hut gives you the option to choose which side of the pizza you want your toppings on. They don’t do thirds or fourths, only halves. And it’s all up to you which side you want the pepperoni on, and which side you want everything else that sucks on. BUT, you ask yourself, what happens if you accidentally put the pepperoni (that you intended to have on the left side) on the right side of the pizza and the anchovies, pineapple, peppers, and mushrooms on the left side? Heavens to Betsy! The world is collapsing!
I’ve created a short video, using the new Apple iMovie ‘08 (which, by the way, aside from the new titles feature, sucks horribly) that explains what to do should you ever make this horrifying oversight yourself. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a real pizza and all I have is a very old all-in-one fax, copier, espresso machine, and printer that prints only black and white. But you can, in the name of science, pretend that it is, indeed, a delicious (and colorful) pizza pie. And now, without further adieu:
The world is full of idiots that I’m convinced would never be able to figure this out on their own.

This proves that Pizza Hut is managed by a bunch of waterheads.
I’ll bet you could sell them on the movie. It would be a nice addition to their website and would probably save countless calls to their customer service line.

I don’t think they can afford the budget it costs to create films as high a quality as this one.

In order for the video to be effective, it should play twice. Once in slow motion … just so people really *get it*.

It took me a while to figure it out, but I did. Really, you should send this video to Pizza Hut so they can include it on their pizza ordering website.
Great public service Jedi.

Mike: Glad I could be of service.
Michelle: It’s not nuked out, it’s simply broken down for morons. You know, people like you

Joey: I like to order my pizza toppings on the left and right, and then poop it out the bottom.

I ordered on on their site but they wouldn’t deliver it to me unless I put all the toppings on the bottom. I understand that this has some geographic relevance…

Anaglyph: I hear you like it on top.
