Many of you may remember way back in the summer of ’12, when the CEO of deep-fried diabetes factory Chick-fil-A came out against homo marriage (thereby conceding a shitload of wedding catering business to Arbys) and intolerant libtards were all, “We’re totally going to boycott your greasy slabs of chicken genocide which we never ate in the first place because meat is murder”. This, in turn, enraged conservative Christians and Fox TV viewers causing those who were ambulatory or whose hoverounds had fully charged batteries to stage a Chick-fil-A gorge-in where they all showed up on one special day to shovel massive mounds of artery-clogging fried foods into their gaping maws to show the world that they would rather die than have something gay shoved down their throats. The end result was a massive turnout causing gay homosexuals to became as scarce as GOP Senators who have served in the military, by which I mean John McCain, or if you want both: Lindsey Graham.
But wait, there’s more…
During the run-up to President Gift Giving African’s latest stolen election, chemical face-peel victim and CEO of Papa John’s Pizza, the very Italian sounding John Schnatter, said that he hate-hate-hated Obamacare, and that the idea of having to provide healthcare benefits to his stupid employees made him sicker than most of his employees, particularly the ones who supply him with one of Papa John’s freshest ingredients (hint: it’s mucus, such as found on the popular Papa John’s Linguiça & Lunger Deep Petri Dish Artisanal Pizza). Schnatter said he would have to raise the price of his pizzas a whole 14 cents because of the socialism, although actually it’s only about five cents, but that doesn’t make it any less communist. Also Schnatter said he would cut his employees hours so they wouldn’t qualify for benefits but mainly because he is a dick. Now liberals are once again threatening a boycott and conservatives are once again coming to the rescue with #IStandWithPapaJohn’s day which happens to be this Friday following Thanksgiving, which makes perfect sense because it is the one day when all of America stands there looking in the refrigerator saying, to no one in particular, “There’s nothing to eat”.
So please remember to order your Papa John’s pizza right after you get home from America’s Black Friday Ritual Stomping of Some Random Person To Death At A Wal-Mart because you really need that $199 flatscreen for the bathroom so that you won’t miss a moment of the hilarious Two And A Half Men while you’re pooping.
And, for a limited time only, just tell the Papa John’s employee on the phone that you support John Schnatter and that your deepest hope is that the employee never gets adequate healthcare, and you’ll not only get free delivery, but a little something extra on your pizza.
Hint: It’s lunger-ific…

Even if u -can- get anchovies on that pizza, it’s not worth it. ‘Papa’ John is a bad, bad person and he encourages the production of bad, bad pizza.
If I worked at minimum wage for some dickhead shoveling crap to the american public and he threatened to cut my hours to deprive me of health care, I am pretty sure I would forget to wash my hands after bathroom breaks
Denny’s sincerely wants your business.
“Schnatter” would actually be a good term for the physical action needed to pull up a truly viscous lunger. Maybe the rarest and most horrifying variety of lunger – one with visible strings of blood running through it.
“I started to throw up when he schnattered.”
“That was the loudest schnatter I’ve ever heard.”
“Jeezus, dude, a schnatter like that can rupture your esophagus.”
“Schnatter” is also the sound you hear from the bathroom the morning after enjoying a delicious Papa John’s “Pizza”.
First Chick-fil-a, then Applebee’s, then Denny’s, and now Papa John’s? If the boycotts work and these great eateries go out of business, where is a red, white, and blue ‘Murican going to eat? Christ on a crutch, he’ll probably have to go to one of those private-owned fresh ingredient fancy-schmancy restaurants (usually run by the gayz!). Or, worse, cook their own food!
The irony of course is with all these places potentially being run out of business, America gets healthier and health costs go down for everybody. In other words – communism.
Not this guy. I’ll have my frozen dough, ketchup tomato sauce from a can, Papa John’s pizza with the wolverine sausage, thankyouverymuch!(Hold the lunger, please.)
Also. Too. I just pulled the takeout menus from a kitchen drawer. I counted nine pizza joints that deliver to my address. Unless Papa John’s makes their pizza from Readen Steel, free market competition can be a bitch, dontcha know.
And I recently saw an overhead photo of Papa’s castle-shaped mansion, with a garage that’s twice the size of my house. So, fuck you, Papa J, you disgusting, selfish dick. If you can afford a jillion dollar castle, you can afford to pay your employees a decent wage with health care.
PS, your pizza tastes like crap.
Wow, TBogg, maybe because my internal tubing isn’t as ramrod-tough as it once was, but watching that guy throwing the pizza box in a rage is no way for me to proceed with my spottily-planned day. Too bad there’s no “stop loop” function for these little gifs. I get tired of Ross’s bouncing bust, too. It isn’t gender-based. Even an elderly straight lady can appreciate the poetry of Shakira’s backside in motion.
And also: one of these days, for some unforeseeable reason you’re going to be moved to post an elegaic paragraph of praise and admiration for the things you deep-down like and enjoy about this, our native land, and given your writing skills, I bet it’ll be beautiful.
Addendum: I’ve never had any Papa John’s. Is it worse than Roy Rogers? Coz that’s bad.
This is both interesting and important but I want to talk about wedgie survivor David Brooks. In his article today he writes about the up-and-comers who are the modern models of a major moderation of the party formerly known as the bunch of ignorant throwbacks who just goofed and gaffed their hour upon the stage, studiously avoiding any mention of Marco Rubio who’s of course still at it, and in the course of this, Brooks writes this:
“Since Nov. 6, the G.O.P. has experienced an epidemic of open-mindedness. The party may evolve quickly.”
Leaving aside the fact that November 6 was 14 days ago, sometimes deep inside I almost suspect that David Brooks is making fun of fellow conservatives, though more likely he’s just actually that tone deaf.
So Walter White delivers, then? I’m totally buying my pizza from his fine establishment; Papa John can go hang. Further, with all the extra energy I get from the Walt’s “secret ingredient,” I should have no problem scaling the side of the house to retrieve the pizza from the roof.
At their current rate, then, they should make the stone age sometime by the year 2175, give or take.
Think fatty bits of Trigger on stale toast.
Yes, worse than Roy Rogers.
Love the gif. Makes me yearn for more Breaking Bad.
Mr. Schnotter is doing us a great favor, and taking a very forward step- he’s telling all of Amurka that the WitchDoktorCommunistHealthyNation plan is going to cost 14 cents, per pizza. Perhaps all the other ‘job creators’ could do the math for their particular widget and let us know how cheap their tab will be to bring Amurka into the realm of the rest of the Free World. Then let the sniveling Republikkkanz howl about ‘Git yer guvmint outta my health care!’
I had one of the wingnut FB pals tell me that the Negro’s Insurance Hustle will cost each of us $5K per annum, and ‘they’ll take it right out of your bank account!’ For some folks, that cost would be a helluva deal!
I strongly urge all conservatives to join in this support for barbaric labor practices. The resultant mortality from heart attack, stroke, and food poisoning will hasten the demise of the GOP.
Indeed. I’ll take the $5K deal. Arithmetic! Sheesh.
Anyone watching “The Dust Bowl”? Socialist/Commie FDR to the rescue. Hold the anchovies…
By the way, because Katie is doing so well and her doggie oncologists say (remarkably) they don’t recommend any further treatment for her cancer at this time, my friend Linda has taken to calling her “Walter White.”
Which isn’t apropos to much more than the pizza tossing, but it is a most excellent & memorable pizza toss.
Great news!
It was close, but you get the prize. Shoto @ 12 was real close. LMAO.
The party may evolve quickly.
They don’t evolve. Creationists wait for Jeebus to magically change things.
It was scheduled for the 16th.
LAST Friday.
Apparently nothing unusual happened.
…again.
Competitors of Papa John’s should advertise that their pizza’s are always going to be 14 cents cheaper!
Pardon me but this bit of slang has passed me by (although I can think of other, similar, expressions).
Just how does one pronounce ‘lunger’?
So great to hear Jane!!!
Have you all seen this guy’s HOUSE? Remember Mitt Romney’s car elevator? well, this guy’s got a limousine turntable…AND a moat:
Papa’s House
lung-ger…….
Does the evolution happen in the magic underwear or with it? I gotta hand it to you TBoggers, your culture grab is spectacular.
Also too, Walter is all friends with people I am “friends” with on FB, but I have never seen him once, even though they make that show in my own town. You can tell by the signs around that say Br Ba with arrows and such on them. And I’ve had “friends” who know also about that secret ingredient, of which I mainly know that it smells like cat pee. Which is not something you would want on your pizza, for sure.
So all and all, I won’t be having any peezta from that guy, Schnatter, for sure.
thanks!
You mean sort of like the rapture….?
PS, Jane, good news about Katie!
Un-uh. Just remember to say: “No anchovies please.”
Looking at his house, in the front yard it appears that there is a tiny white house. I cannot tell if there is a mailbox near it.
He appears to have raided Zork I!
“You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door.
There is a small mailbox here.”
He may have gotten ‘The Great Underground Empire’ in a hostile takeover!!
Dominoes pizza guy, Tom Monaghan, bought Drummond Island MI. He sold the business to BAIN for a billion.
Nolan Bushnell built ATARI, sold it and set up Chucky Cheese. He’s worth billions.
There’s gold in them there [salt, oil, carbohydrates, corn syrup sugars, etc. May contain trace quantities of protein]
Brilliant !!
Absolutely hilarious !!
…or a Romney landslide, but yeah, like that.
There’s so much money in pizzas. It could be time for a pizza coop-commune! Red Star Socialist Pizza!
Kropotkin Crust
Emma ‘Red Emma‘ Goldman sauce
Potemkin Cheese
Marx and Engels Manifesto Toppings
Proletariat Cola
Running Dog Lackey Animatronics
All welcome!
LGBT discount (just ask, no proof required)!
Schnatter trying to walk it back. Wow, if this is how fast he delivers his version of facts, I don’t think I’ll be calling for home delivery any time soon.
guess the sales reports came in…
The fine dining at medieval times is the only viable option; pon farr & ribs
Somehow this vanguard of American entrepreneurship manages to operate restaurants in Canada. Even has a cute little maple leaf on his company logo. Better Ingredients. Better Pizza. Better Health Care.
Papa johns was okay pizza when they first started out,for a national chain but they started to get shitty a few years ago. Just bad pizza. Haven’t had it for years. There’s also a guy in Indiana with a massive house who owns a bunch of Pizza Huts who’s cutting employee hrs because of obamacare. His name is richard freeland
Never eaten at a Papa John’s, not planning to do so anytime soon.
No Schnatter, it’s blind fucking moronic greed!
Common sense would be to make sure the most immediate representatives of your Brand and the actual creators of your ‘product’ are as happy and healthy advocates of your brand name as they can possibly be.
Choking back on their hours to make sure you have an extra 14 cents of the cut is moronic greed. Working overtime trying to make sure they have no health care options at all will now mean the workers who can will go find jobs that do offer healthcare. They will leave behind a workforce too stupid to get the job done and ultimately put you out of business. Depriving you the enjoyment of lording the wealth; which you’ve leeched from their productivity, over them.
That’s the actual problem isn’t it, Schnatter?
I make my own pizza. It’s not rocket science. Bread flour, water, a bit of olive oil and yeast. And it tastes infinitely better than the crap that is focus-group tested to death.
No anchovies? You’ve got the wrong man. I spell my name “Danger!”
No Papa John’s for us this Friday.
Why should this Friday be any different than any other day?
Actually, I’ve never had Papa John’s pizza as I’ve been duly warned by a trusted source that it is ketchup on a cracker. … And that the owner is a right wing asshole. The only difference this time is that he decided to speak up and remove all doubt in a very public way.
Regarding the animated gif, that’s the fastest roofing job I’ve ever seen.
Pizza? The topic is pizza! I am a pizza snob, and a Tee Vee snob and a beer snob. I like the Spin Pizza. And I like the Trader Joes Vintage Ale. So, trolls, bring it on.
They never come up into the hills, these guys….
Well, I hope you like….bowling!?!?!?!
Aha, so the pizza throwing guy is the meth-dealer of “Breaking Bad”. Which I’ve never watched. I figured it had to be part of some entertainment or other, due to the camera angles, but had no idea what.
I’m only tangentially aware of many aspects of current culchoor. Daily reality is enuf of a strain without seeking out more; but then I’m one of those people who can’t read some great, dark authors, like Dostoevsky, without getting stomach pains.
But the idea of equating Mr. Papa J. with meth-dealing has appeal. I’ve long suspected that high-fructose corn syrup, for instance, has addictive properties.
By definition, it is infinitely worse than Roy Rogers because Roy Rogers doesn’t make pizzas
Me, I come from the Paulie Walnuts school of thought.
“they ate ‘putzie’ before we gave ‘em the gift of our cusine”
