Nice Try Papa John's

Incase you didn't know, Papa John's will put their logo on anything including a football stadium and a t-shirt that mocks one of the most recognized players in the NBA. If you haven't Read the AP article here: I laughed when I read the article last week, I thought to myself, it's going to be a zoo Thursday in Cleveland, I'm glad I'm in Columbus, they're going to go crazy over a .23 cent pizza in Cleveland. And then, yesterday, I come to find that the offer was extended to the Columbus area for some reason. I was excited, .23 cent pizza sounds good to me, but then I found out the stipulations. Must pick up: 1 per person: Must order in person: Must be one topping: Must wait at least 2 hours in a rediculously long line: Must find a parking space in a parking lot meant for 10 when there are already 45 people there. We have 2 Papa John's by my house, and both are quite small with even smaller parking lots. Even driving past them was a dificult task yesterday, there were people parking everywhere, overflowing other companies parking lots, people walking near a mile just to get a pizza. I deemed the task worthless and just laughed at all of the people going crazy over a cheap pizza. Hopefully this taught Papa John's a lesson that you don't have to put your name on everything you can, you're already one of the top pizza places around (for some reason), it was a nice attempt to mend things, but just stick to those cheezy ads that I see on the TV all day and continue making pizza that tastes like cardboard, it's been working so far. I don't know how much money they lost, but they do have a large amount of stores in the columbus to cleveland area, so I'm hoping it was enough of a setback so the person who thought of the idea to sponser the crybaby t-shirts got fired, or at least a stern talking to.
