So this is really good satire, and they got me for about a minute, probably because I so wanted it to be true, until I remembered that there’s always something fishy about the Daily Currant. Regardless it’s funny and it’s really too bad that it didn’t really happen;<\/p>\n
I guess Michael Bloomberg, the mayor of New York City who has been limiting choices of New Yorkers in regards to everything from Big Gulps to canned baby formula when a New York pizzeria gave him a dose of his own medicine during a working lunch with New York comptroller John Liu when they realized that they hadn’t ordered enough food. From the Daily Currant<\/a>;<\/p>\n “Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?” Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.<\/p>\n “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.<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p>\n “Look jackass,” Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, “I f**king 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 fucking pizza, okay.”<\/p>\n “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.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Sucks, don’t it, Mikey? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
