here in ohio
Papa John's pizza had a special 23 cent offer. Something about Lebron James.  Anyway, a pizza with one topping was 23 cents. So throughout the day, there were news reports with helicopter videos showing that the lines are like a half mile long.
For the 23 cent pizza. And the people who were standing in line? They brought their own lunch. Many of them did.
My question is this. OK so the pizza is 23 cents. But if you wait six hours to get it, (and some took off work to stand in line) - I mean, is it just me or is this... I don't even know what my question is. I don't know what to say, what to ask. I'm speechless.

They had something similiar here in Florida with Krispy Kremes Donuts.
Everytime the Marlins baseball team would win you would get 12 free donuts with your ticket stub.
Too bad that did't work out too good for them the Marlins only won like 13 games in the year!
HA! fat folks were pist!

But the lines were deep about a 1 and a 1/2 hour wait.
Why? when 12 donuts cost about $2.29 plus tax.

Same concept with shoes, I never got how you buy one get one free?
I believe your paying for it in the one shoe that cost the regular price.
How about I dont want the other pair of shoes why dont I get a discount?

Lemmings - Check out this article: http://www.cracked.com/article_16239_5-psychological-experiments-that-prove-humanity-doomed.html - and it doesn't even include the study where half the group were mock prison guards, half were prisoners and it turned into a nightmare. That is found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_prison_experiment

Listen to your heart, follow your own muse, get your kicks from your inner 66. =)It's easier to be in love with another, when you're ok with who you are, warts and all.

I know, I've gone a bit far on this, but heck, so did most of these folks.

How about these people go out and get real jobs so they can pay full price for a pizza and then Papa Johns can do something with THAT money like make more pizza and feed the homeless in the area.

Now if the 25 cents was for a fill up of gas..........it would be worth it.

Those must have been a lot of out of work people in order to spend all that time in a line for a pizza. Great marketing and tons of free PR for the pizza shack!  I wonder if they sold any of those one price soda fill ups for $1.69 plus tax with that cheap pizza?

So, if you make min. wage ($7) and wait 6 hours for the pizza, that pizza just cost you $42.23 (assuming you could have spent those 6 hours working)

Before you criticize people in Ohio, you may want to get your facts. "rmlsf" hit it right on the button. There aren't many jobs left in Ohio for ANY level. I have lived in Ohio all of my life and travel nationally and internationally extensively. Some of you may not realize but, the market and economy in Ohio has been terrible since 2001 - based on business and market transactions in the area. Not to mention the ongoing current national & world "impacts" as well doesn't help. Jobs in Ohio are not available and potential openings have been rapidly decreasing.... PERIOD!!!! These people will kill for a minimum wage job as much as they would for a 23 cent pizza!!! These families that aren't able to provide are just trying to get a "half decent meal" for their families..... do you blame them?????
