When you've been blogging about pizza for more than five years, you've heard the old "pizza is like sex" joke—"even when it's bad, it's good."
It ceased to amuse me by, oh, about the second time I heard it, which is why I was surprised when I found myself LOLing at a recent thread in the Serious Eats Talk section: Sex is like pizza...or is it...
You look back on your experiences with it in college, and say, "What was I thinking?"
(If you've already seen this thread, forgive me. I'm still catching up on stuff I missed while on vacation last week and thought this one was worth highlighting.)

San Francisco's Pizzeria Delfina has come up with a brilliant way of countering negative reviews from less-than-literate Yelpers—it simply prints the nasty reviews on its employees' T-shirts.
7x7, which first reported on the shirts, makes a great analogy—it's sort of like taking back the night.
Or, perhaps a better comparison would be in the way that minority groups attempt to reclaim certain derogatory terms—queer, nigga, bitch—from the dominant culture, thereby mitigating the sting of those words.
With messages such as "The pizza was soooo greasy. I am assuming this was in part due to the pig fat" (natalie t.) and "This place sucks" (Hoan T.), Pizzeria Delfina aims to turn the idea of Yelp as a source for intelligent food criticism on its head. [via Consumerist]

Everyone knows the finest cheese is aged. And no cheese slice sits out longer than the ones in Sbarro. So, should we bail out Sbarro? Well they do employ almost 6,000 people in 45 states. Plus, Sbarro is a mall staple. If they go under, who's next? Spencer's Gifts? Where will America go for our farts and fart-related accessories? On the other hand, sometimes at Sbarro, the Parmesan cheese gets stuck in the shaker and won’t come out as fast as I like. So ... f--k em.

The Pizza Delivery FAIL video I posted last Tuesday prompted this comment from Bouudiii: "Reminds me of this video (quite famous here in France), where the guy guarantees pizza delivery within 4 minutes anywhere in Paris. Look at the mess (starts at 1:10)." The video, after the jump.

Jason Kottke just hipped me to this funny bit of pizza trivia from Futurama. Original Cosmic Ray's Pizza. The joke works on so many levels.

This is one of the most bizarre submissions to make-your-own-meme site YTMND: McCainy Love Pizzas!
The creator has used one of McCain's crazy faces and mashed it up with Ween's unreleased Pizza Hut Jingle "Where'd the Cheese Go?"
(Warning: If you're at work, turn down your volume and/or put on headphones.)

"Come eat me. I'm a delicious pizza."
I'm not the first to point out that the Apple vs. PC ads are annoying. John Hodgman as the personification of "PC" is much more likable than Justin Long as "Mac." But even though these ads unintentionally make me a PC fan, they're usually pretty fun. In the latest Apple commercial, PC hides in a pizza box, as it's the only way he figures college students will choose him. Watch the video, after the jump.
