PIZZA AND PROTEST

An encouraging Wisconsin update from MJ’s Andy Kroll:

Pizza from around the world. To show their support for the labor protesters here in Madison, people from California to Egypt have been calling into local pizza joints and ordering pizzas to be delivered to the Wisconsin state capital. For Ian’s Pizza, located just a stone’s throw from the capital building, it started with a single anonymous call from California. Then the orders starting pouring in from around the country, and then around the world. One call even came in from Cairo, the epicenter of Egypt’s massive protests that toppled autocrat Hosni Mubarak.

The guys at The Uptake have a great video story on the protests and pizza. Watch it here, or go to their site where you can find lots more video coverage of the events in Madison.

Amazing. Also, I’m pretty sure Peter is behind this.
