Pizza For All Seasons!
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Food, Stupid People | Posted on 21-05-2012
All around us we see proof that people are stupid. It’s a phenomenon that won’t go away. Which is bad for society, but good for bloggers – we get an endless supply of blog material, exemplified by my friend Brandon over at My Own Private Idaho. He has a knack for finding stupidity in the world and sharing it with all of us.
Last week I came home to find a flyer rolled up in the front door of our house. It was for a local pizza place called Chanticlear Pizza. Their food is actually good so anytime they want to send me a coupon I’m willing to accept it. Take a look at the flyer:
Upon close inspection I noticed something odd about the flyer. On the top it advertises a SPRING / SUMMER SPECIAL they are offering. And yes, just below that it says my neighborhood (lucky us) was selected to get the FALL / WINTER SPECIAL.
It seemed odd to mention specials for all four seasons in one flyer, so I came up with a few possibilities to explain this:
1. Their marketing dude is just plain cheap. In his mind, he’s saving the company money by promoting specials that are still 6 months away. Kind of like killing two birds with one cheap ass flyer.
2. The pizza joint is some kind of space / time transporter. Most of the general public is forced to accept their Spring / Summer special… HOWEVER, when someone from my neighborhood comes in they are zipped back in time to last winter! This is amazing! I could go back and bet a shitload of money on the Super Bowl!
But less face it… the most likely possibility is this:
3. They are idiots. My guess is they sped through the flyer process so fast that they didn’t notice the error, and still haven’t noticed. Or if they did notice it wasn’t until after they were all printed. That is no excuse by the way… we print marketing flyers at my job on occasion and something like this would cost just PENNIES to reprint. That would be money well spent – if for no other reason than to avoid getting called out for being a moron on blogs!
Just when I think I am running out of ideas for the blog, some moron comes along and helps me out. Thank God for Morons!

Stupidity, it’s the world’s most renewable resource. If only there was some way to power the grid with it…

Its just word vomit! See what so many people don’t understand is that in the process of going through all the things we read, we start to become numb to the specifics. This flyer was made 6 months ago. Then when they wanted a new one they just pulled up the file changed on or two things and never proof read the stupid thing.
I personally love word vomit! I think it is an important part of our society. Weeds out the idiots and lets us know who is not sufficient to procreate with!

I love stuff like this. That reminds me off when my husband’s work put signs all around the building saying No Paring. Somebody had to complain before the bosses noticed and it was still 3 weeks before they got taken down and changed.

I have never seen a 14″ Hand Toss before, this should be interesting…
Thanks for the shout out. I’m actually going to a pizza place tonight called “The Pie Hole.” I CAN’T WAIT!!!

You know I want to go with the space/time transporter theory. Except you could go forward to next winter and catch that superbowl. Think of how superior you could be if you knew the eventual outcome all football season.

There’s this Thai restaurant near my work that recently had a fancy new menu printed up. It’s obviously from a template – but a very pretty, sophisticated template nonetheless. On the front cover of the booklet, right underneath the restaurant’s name, it says “Your message goes here”. And along the bottom of the page, in a soft-coloured watermark, it reads “A short message could go here”.
It’s pretty much the best menu I’ve ever seen. I love that place.

@Queen Gen: Oh man, that is awesome. You have to get a picture of that!

Ha maybe this is their way of telling you there are other deals out there but you don’t get them.
Like if the Soup Kitchen sent out fliers saying “Special Soup Discount!” and then “but NO SOUP FOR YOU!”

I can see the prices, which is all that matters. That’s a deal. I would tell my allergy to gluten to bite it for those bargains.

I’m more interested in the name of the shop. Chanticlear? WTF? Tell me that’s the name of the town or the street it’s on or something. Please.
