Pizza and Pornography and...what!?

And the award for Stupidest Thing I've Read All Week goes to:

Yahoo!: Double pepperoni, mushrooms, extra cheese and ... porn?
A new pizza restaurant in western Canada that delivers pornography with every pie has once again proven the adage: sex sells.
Porno Pizza in Winnipeg has been doing brisk business since opening last week, titillating the hungry with racy pictures at the bottom of every pizza box.
"They range from softly-lit, lube-on-the-lens pictures like in Playboy, to raunchy, hardcore photos that would make Larry Flint blush," pizzeria owner Corey Wildeman told AFP. "The image is revealed as you eat the pizza."

Sometimes you come across a news story that just makes you call "bullshit." I have a sneaking suspicion that like last April's poodle sheep story this will turn out to be fabricated. There's just too many outrageous statements that we are expected to *ahem* swallow at face value.

East meets West: Pizza Pizza buys Pizza 73 for $70 million

Hey, I got a hat trick here: I'm covering Candian business, local Edmonton news, and pizza, sweet pizza all in one post!

Pizza Pizza sinks teeth into Western expansion, buys Pizza 73 stores
The Pizza Pizza acquisition, carrying a pricetag of $70.3 million, will give the Pizza Pizza Royalty Income Fund (TSX:PZA.UN) the "intellectual property" of Pizza 73 and its 48-restaurant system, and a nine per cent royalty on sales.
"It's been a challenge in Canada to find a good growth story in our pizza QSR industry, so we've been very patient in searching for a well-managed company," chief financial officer Curt Feltner said in a phone interview.

Having lived both here and in Toronto, I would be hard pressed to say which ad jingle was more annoying: "9-6-7-11-11! Call Pizza Pizza RIGHT AWAY!" or "Pizza 73, the pizza's ON!"

Here's Pizza Pizza's chart.
