    Angry $12M Tax Dollars for Domino's Pizza Ads

    Domino's Pizza was hurting early last year. Domestic sales had fallen, and a survey of big pizza chain customers left the company tied for the worst tasting pies.

    Then help arrived from an organization called Dairy Management. It teamed up with Domino's to develop a new line of pizzas with 40 percent more cheese and proceeded to devise and pay for a $12 million marketing campaign.

    And Dairy Management, which has made cheese its cause, is not a private business consultant. It is a marketing creation of the U.S. Department of Agriculture - the same agency at the center of a federal anti-obesity drive that discouragesover-consumption of some of the very foods Dairy Management is vigorously promoting

    The great pizza bailout.

    I remember seeing these commercials. The basic gist of them was "hey! our pizza doesn't taste like $#@!ty cardboard anymore! really! we actually use cheese now! we've changed come try us!"

    And I was thinking "nah, that is okay, even if you are less sucky now I would rather eat a damn hot pocket than order dominos".

    $#@! the state and $#@! Dominos.

    sometimes I wish it all was satire.. but $#@!.. its not.
    The ultimate minority is the individual. Protect the individual from Democracy and you will protect all groups of individuals
    Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual. - Thomas Jefferson
    I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

    I knew there had to be some hidden reason as to why I felt ill in my stomach after eating Domino's.
