Pie throwers

Do you think people who throw pie in the face of politicians are doing it for a valid reason,or are just showing us they have no imagination in the protest department.

It's probably just because it's more fun than a regular protest, and it's as close as you're going to come to punching one without getting stomped by their bodyguards and thrown into prison for 10 years. There are quite a few I'd like to pie, and quite a few more for whom I'd shit in the pie pan first.

I think in their minds they are conviced they are making a statement. When in reality they just distance themselves from the average person.

Next time Hovid is in town, I'll bake him a whipped-cream and brick pie.

I don’t know what such people think, but I cease to give a damn about their cause when they do such things. I think that’s probably true of most people.

I find it hilarious. I wouldn't do it to Dubya though- you'd get shot instantly and the morons on Fox News would be justifying it the next day by claiming you were a terrorist and had put poison in the pie.

Secret Service agents are not trained to have a sense of humor.

You are very correct. I tried to make this point to some militant environmental types when I was in college. They just dont get it, they have convinced themselves that others will see it as a daring action.

Pies and crap like that are best used against extremists (like Phreddy Phelps), not by them (like say what PETA keeps doing).

I don't know, literally dumping crap on your political rivals has been a tradition for millenia, like when one of Julius Caesar's men dumped what polite historians call "filth" on his chief political rival in front of a cheering crowd of Romans. Where is your sense of the classical, people?

Heh. "The pie was later identified as banana cream, which demonstrates the perpetrators links to Al-Qaeda. Today, the manager and several employees of the Washington DC Giant Eagle where the pie was purchesed were arrested for aiding the terrorist action. It should be noted that one employee was of Yemeni descent, proving beyond a shadow of a doubt in this reporters eyes that the pieing was connected to Al-Qaeda."

He got 5 metres, and was tackled. He managed to get away from them, but the police arrested him. It was a banana cream pie, not on of those whipped-cream theatre pies.

I believe I once wrote a comedy piece about this.

Might have to search the archives.
