Papa Johns Is Terrible (And the Pizza Ain't That Great Either)

By

Remember when the owner of Papa John's was complaining about the ACA (aka, Obamacare), saying that it was hurting his business. I mean, who cares if the guy making your pizza is sneezing and coughing all around the kitchen if you can get a medium for under $10.00?

Well, the guy has a new target: politically-minded athletes:

To hear Papa John’s founder John Schnatter tell it, better suppression of First Amendment rights make for better pizza sales.
Schnatter told shareholders on a conference call that NFL players’ protests over racial injustice are killing his pizza business during the games, according to the New York Daily News. He also blamed NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell for not putting the protesting players in their place. A prominent sponsor of the NFL, the pizza company’s position is that the protests are to blame for the NFL’s sagging ratings, which, in turn, are driving down pizza sales.
“The NFL has hurt us,” Schnatter told his shareholders. “We are disappointed the NFL and its leadership did not resolve this.”
NFL players and owners, of course, did resolve the issue of what to do about players kneeling during the national anthem by letting the protests continue.


Never mind that the owner never complained when things like the rise in cheese occurred, because that has a direct correlation to the price of pizza. Nope! Let's blame low sales on the fact that NFL players want to stand in solidarity with people who believe that police brutality is wrong.

Besides, everyone knowsthat wings are the ideal football food, not pizza.

For being DC Comic's most recognizable female character, WW has been given the cinematic shaft for a long time. We've seen two incarnations of Lois Lane and countless Bat-groupies, but not one decent pitch for the Amazon in the big screen. And we're talking about a character who made armored underwear cool waaay before anyone heard of Princess Leia. So here's one humble man's suggestion for any future casting of the Wonder Woman movie. I really have three rules for casting: she has to be at least 5'10", under 45 and attractive enough to pass for a princess. Sandrine Holt - Age: 36, Height: 5'10", Relevant Movie/TV Roles: Resident Evil: Apocalypse & Mutant X Pros : She's played both a (doomed) reporter and a person with superpowers, so if she can play both, she's a shoe-in. Plus she's probably the least-known actress on this list, so they can two movies out of her cheap. Cons : While D.C. isn't as star-crazy as Marvel when it co...

5 Actresses Who Deserve a Bigger Break

Being the avid movie watcher that I am, I've noticed that more than one talented actress has been passed over for other talent. And by "talent," I mean, "sex tapes that 'accidentally' made it to the Internet." Well, here's one man's humble attempt to rectify the situation. The following ladies are not only talented, but beautiful. Hollywood: get off your ass and give these women more roles. DANIELLE FISHEL Noticeable TV/Movie Appearances: Boy Meets World; both National Lampoon's Dorm Dazes The delightful Ms. Fishel has the distinction of having the weirdest named ever associated with a smart-yet-hot character (or maybe I'm the only one who has a problem saying "Topanga!" whilst in the throes of passion) as well as participating in the death of the National Lampoon Series (I personally thought it died with Chevy Chase's career; who knew?). If you were to use her IMBD page as a reference, the only real fault people seem to hav...
