Bloomberg Refused Second Slice of Pizza at Local Restaurant

"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."
Stop and Tisk

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.
Bloomberg starts cussing after this part of the exchange, so there is profanity in the article. And this exchange pretty much tells you all you need to know about Bloomie.

Not that I'd ever go to NYC.....but if I did....this restaurant is where I'd go for pizza.

Typical elitist attitude. I am important and can do what I want. You are not as important as I am and I will dictate what you must do. :mad5

From the Daily Currant FAQ:
Q. Are your news stories real?

A. No. Our stories are purely fictional. However they are meant to address real-world issues through satire and often refer and link to real events happening in the world

I should have paid more attention. They got me. I should have been suspicious at the whole notion that any of the helots in NYC would challenge Boomie.

The Currant is like the Onion, only not as funny.

This was, though.
Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

I guess I bit too. Easy to get someone to believe it if it isn't so hard to believe in reality.

I see that others have caught on. The story was pretty realistic, but the headlines off to the side gave it away.
Sarah Palin Calls for Invasion of Czech Republic
Egypt Issues Arrest Warrant For Jon Stewart
Pope Benedict Comes Out as Gay
Paul Ryan Refuses to Tip Elderly Black Waiter

Yeah, right.

Yeah, unfortunately it wasn't until I went back and looked that I noticed the sidebars. I guess I just wanted to believe.

True story or not, it is still hilarious. :smilelol5:

I don't do those things to other people and I require the same of them.

Scary that I fond this story just as believable as the original story of him trying to limit the size of soft drinks.
