https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dS91gT3XT_A Bryant became one of the first persons to be publicly "pied" as a political act (in her case, on television), in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1977.[17] Bryant quipped "At least it's a fruit pie,"[18] making a pun on the derogatory term of "fruit" for a gay man. While covered in pie, she began to pray to God to forgive the activist "for his deviant lifestyle" before bursting into tears as the cameras kept rolling. Bryant's husband, after promising not to retaliate, later took another pie and threw it at the protesters who had pied his wife.[15] By this time, gay activists had ensured the boycott on Florida orange juice had become more prominent and it was supported by many celebrities, including Barbra Streisand, Bette Midler, Paul Williams, Dick Clark, John Waters, Carroll O'Connor, Linda Lavin, Mary Tyler Moore, Charles Schulz, Billie Jean King, and Jane Fonda.[15] In response, David Allan Coe wrote the song "gently caress Anita Bryant", appearing on his controversial 1978 album, Nothing Sacred.[19][20] In 1978, Bryant and Bob Green told the story of their campaign in the book At Any Cost.[14] Even many years after her campaign, the gay community continued to regard her name as synonymous with bigotry and homophobia.[15][21] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPsU-kSBnwI One of two men accused of throwing cream pies at political columnist Ann Coulter during an event at Centennial Hall in 2004 pleaded guilty Monday to misdemeanor assault. Williams Zachary Wolff, 25, was fined $250, but the fine will be suspended as part of the plea agreement if he pays $915 in restitution to the UA for damage caused to a backdrop screen during the incident, said Deputy Pima County Attorney Noah Van Amburg. Original charges against Wolff and Smith were dismissed March 18, 2005, after neither the arresting officer nor Coulter appeared to testify against them. UAPD and Coulter said they had not been properly notified by the Pima County Attorney's Office about the trial. The case was re-filed in April 2005.  "We were on our way out from a wildlife preserve when the man threw the cake," Swedish news agency TT quoted her as saying. The king "was surprised, but he wasn't hurt," she added. Swedish media reported the boy, who was one of 500 onlookers, rushed towards the king and squeezed past his bodyguards before launching his tart. Queen Silvia, who was walking next to the monarch, helped wrestle the youth to the ground, Swedish media reported. Police say they do not have a motive for the attack. If convicted, the suspect could face up to six years in prison.

 Bakers without Borders and Co-optation Watch take action today at the US Social Forum to demand accountability from a self-appointed "spokesperson" whose actions further the commodification of resistance and sabotage our movement's sustainability and credibility. This person's actions benefit the NGO Industrial Complex at the expense of real democracy and solidarity. In particular, we hold Medea Benjamin accountable for: - Publicly siding with the police and municipal authorities against direct actions performed at the World Trade Organization protests of 1999. - Administrative authority in an organization that hordes funds raised for community organizations in Guatemala - Administrative authority in an organization that solicited the economic dependency of residents in Cuba and then abandoned the project, pushing the Cuban participants deeper into poverty. - Acting as self-appointed spokesperson of the "American Left". One egregious example is publicly refusing to endorse a call by hundreds of Lebanese citizens for Israel to unconditionally withdraw from Southern Lebanon in the 2006 war, claiming that the American Left would not swallow such a demand. - Exploiting and dominating movement space, resources, and publicity in the global justice and associated movements.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i74l5vjmWPY Having just finished addressing the thousands who had gathered for the opening celebration, the Premier was about to unveil a plaque at the front of the museum with the help of two children when 30-year-old Marcus Brumer leapt over a barricade, throwing a cream pie in Mr Bracks' face. One of the children was knocked to the ground, as the protester was taken away by security guards. The Premier calmed the children and continued the photo opportunity for the media, still covered in cream. It is understood the child, Alex, is not seriously injured. Mr Brumer says he wanted to show the Premier that demonstrations could be peaceful, unlike those at the World Economic Forum, where he claims police instigated the violence. "Sometimes you have to resort to a bit of street theatre to get your point across." Mr Bracks, who was visibly shaken, was saying little about the incident. "I think the incident speaks for itself and I won't be saying anything more thankyou very much."

 October 9, 1998 San Francisco-The Biotic Baking Brigade (BBB) struck another blow against globalization when one of its operatives threw a pie in the face of neoliberal economist Milton Friedman at a conference he organized on the privatization of public education. The incident occurred tonight at approximately 6:30 PM, immediately before former Secretary of State (under President Reagan) George Schultz was to deliver the keynote address to the conference titled, "School Choice and Corporate America." "When it comes to defending the Earth from the scum of the corporate universe, the pie's the limit!" said Al Decker, 27 year-old pie-thrower and concerned citizen. He approached Friedman while the Nobel Laureate was glad-handing a crowd of supporters, said "Mr. Friedman, it's a good day to pie!" and flopped the tasty coconut creme pie in his face. Decker was arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery. Operating their General Headquarters and Ovens deep in the heart of the Headwaters redwood forest of Northern California, the BBB is a biocentric collective dedicated to holding people responsible for their crimes through delicious mischief. Last summer the group pied corporate raider Charles Hurwitz, CEO of MAXXAM Corporation, who is responsible for liquidating the Headwaters Forest and defrauding American taxpayers of $1.6 billion during the 1980's Savings & Loan Scandal. This summer the BBB targetted Earth First!er Darryl Cherney for behavior unbecoming to a Wobbly and fellow activist. Also known as Special Agent Apple of the BBB, Decker stated that, "We hold Milton Friedman responsible for crimes against the people by organizing this appalling conference, which calls for the privatization of public education. Friedman serves as the world's pre-eminent neoliberal economist, supporting globalization and 'free trade' policies which have brought the world poverty, misery, starvation, and ecological devastation. The global market has brought the globe to the brink of economic collapse. "As a young American, what can I look forward to under neoliberal economics besides a depressing McWorld? This cutthroat economic system has devastating impacts globally as well as in my own backyard. I have witnessed the abuse of my fellow activists as they have been arrested, jailed, beaten, pepper-sprayed and recently killed for trying to defend the Headwaters Forest from fascist economics. "With Milton Friedman, Governor Pete Wilson and financial magnate Steve Forbes all expected at this conference, I thought the three stooges might enjoy a taste of their own medicine. Besides," Decker said, "Pie-throwing enjoys an illustrious history in this country... it's as American as apple pie."

 PRESS RELEASE Vancouver, BC, Canada -- At approximately 1:37 pm today, British anti-semitic conspiracy theorist and author David Icke was pied during a press conference/book-signing at the Granville Book Company bookstore. Amongst other things, ex-soccer goalie and sportscaster David Icke is known for proclaiming himself the Son-of-God during a 1991 BBC interview. Since that time he has published three books, detailing an intricate and ever-evolving World Conspiracy. As well as claiming that the world is run by shape-shifting reptilian bloodlines, (possibly from Mars), Icke uses historical right-wing anti-semitic theories like The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He has also praised the research of British Holocaust denier David Irving. Today's book-signing/press conference was interrupted when three protestors, two dressed as lizards, one with an alien hand puppet, entered the store and proceeded to ridicule Icke. While being heckled for his anti-semitic views by the alien hand puppet, Icke was suddenly creamed by two lemon-meringue pies. The two pies were thrown by agents of a local pie-brigade, the Meringue Marauders. While the pie-tossers fled, the lizards and hand-puppet were aggressively confronted by Ickes Followers, a combination of pot-addled new-age flakes, right-wing militia supporters, and other confused individuals. While Icke consistently tries to silence criticism of his paranoid ramblings by labeling any opposition as an attack on free speech, his Followers chose to shout down, assault, and briefly detain the lizards and hand puppet. All escaped unscathed, leaving a cream covered mess of bigotry and nuttiness behind. David Icke is an arrogant windbag who uses scapegoating, hate and neo-nazi materials to promote his confused, fringe-fascist world view. The Meringue Marauders felt it was time to pop his balloon. The pies were selected for their flaky crusts. Flaky pies for a flaky guy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oojcmfi0pv0 After coating the distinguished guest's face, the pie's contents also proceeded past Kristol and onto the face and suit of Earlham president Doug Bennett, and then onto the stage floor and curtains. The aluminum pie tin sat squashed on the floor next to the podium, the audience yelled, the thrower ran out, and the evening deteriorated. So much for respect. It would be too easy to claim that the actions of this one person clearly in no way represent the values or perspective of the rest of Earlham or the others in attendance that night, but I guarantee you that this argument will hold no water with those -- locally and nationally -- who already have a low opinion of those "crazy liberals" that inhabit places (both geographical and cultural) like Earlham. This pie-thrower has single-handedly reinforced every stereotype that small liberal arts colleges and liberals in general work to dispell about their approach to political and social debate. He embarrassed and discredited (as the public will see it) an institution that is one of the few places I know of successfully practicing appreciative inquiry and effective dialogue. He has given credence to the notion that liberals are just hate-mongering selfish people who can't stand to hear a viewpoint they don't like. But tonight's event will likely only be remembered in the context of the pie incident, and not for any of the potential it might have had for real debate or progress which, in what seems to be the trend with the politically active everywhere, has once again been squandered. In the end, the pie is dripping down the face of everyone except William Kristol.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK6SS8CXYZo Two pranksters who attacked Microsoft boss Bill Gates with custard pies have been fined 75 euros (US$88) - the minimum sentence for their messy crime. Mr Gates became a victim of Belgium's notorious "entarteurs" or pie throwers on a visit to the country last February. As the world's richest man attended a reception in Brussels, he was hit by four fresh cream tarts. Pictures of the computer magnate with fresh cream spattered over his face and suit were beamed around the world. His attackers Brian Keegan and Remy Belvaux were fined after being found guilty of "mild violence". It is the first time any of the pie-throwers, who call themselves ''pastry terrorists'', have been convicted.

 INDIANAPOLIS -- A conservative commentator who was hit by a pie during a speech at Butler University this week says he wants the perpetrator to pay in one manner or another. David Horowitz said the pie thrower and any collaborators should be suspended for at least a semester if they are students. If they're not students, he said, they should be prosecuted. "There needs to be a zero tolerance toward disruption of speeches," Horowitz told RTV6's Derrik Thomas on Thursday. "The university -- the essence of its mission is that it be a civil exchange of ideas, not a political food fight." Horowitz, who was at Butler as a guest of a student Republicans group, was hit in the face with a pie as he spoke at Gallahue Hall. The pie-thrower and three fellow protesters got away. Butler police are investigating the incident and haven't identified the pie-thrower, according to a statement from Butler President Bobby Fong. Witnesses said some pushing and shoving ensued as people tried to pursue the four. One pregnant student filed a complaint with police, saying Butler sociology professor Marvin Scott -- one of the people who pursued the pie-thrower -- assaulted her. Scott, a Republican who ran for the U.S. Senate and lost to Sen. Evan Bayh last year, denied the allegation. "I can tell you it's not true," Scott said. Scott, who is black, said the student hurled some racial slurs at him. "This is after I allegedly pushed her down. She was following me down the hall," Scott said.

TROIKA CURES GREEK posted:say what you want about the man but those are some amazing reflexes. on an extremely relevant note he probably threw the best presidential first pitch of all time. of. all. time.  his dad actually played in the college world series but he was pretty old by the time he got to be president and by the time he threw a first pitch that made it to youtube it was, uh, actually pretty depressing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QcCDA0j4aCE i really wish w had been commissioner of major league baseball, that might've been a good fit for him as a former part-owner (basically to get political buy-in on the texas rangers' successful quest to, iirc i am not googling this, seize a bunch of land via eminent domain for the stadium but actually just sell it on to developers) i think he couldve sold the wealth transfer from taxpayers to billionaires, which is the commissioner's most important role, with his folksy charm. and then we could've had bud selig be the first jewish and the first car leasing president of the usa, both of which would have been wonderful firsts i thought he was a used car salesman but wow, leasing cars is a pretty exploitative business isn't it? i know there's a jay-z song where he advises his listeners never to lease a car selig was actually very, very good at his job, for better and for worse, so i bet he could've just transferred those skills to the presidency and everything wouldve been fine so that's all hardcore related to the thread topic for sure

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOXfbtWPZjw The RCMP fumbled yesterday to explain how a protester could plant a cream pie on the face of Prime Minister Jean Chrétien as he toured an agricultural show in Prince Edward Island. The incident, the third glaring breach in security around the Prime Minister since he took office in 1993, led to sharp questions and an admission of failure from the Mounties. An RCMP spokesman, Staff Sergeant André Guertin, said the force does not yet know what went wrong. He conceded that the breach that allowed the pie-thrower to get close could have also allowed an armed attacker to get to the Prime Minister. "There's been a failure in the security, clearly," he said. "We want to determine the cause and put in place the appropriate measures to ensure that it doesn't happen again." However, he added that nothing can be done to eliminate the risk of an attack on the country's leader completely. The incident occurred as Mr. Chrétien entered an agricultural exhibition in Charlottetown and began shaking hands with about 15 or 20 people. A man stepped across Mr. Chrétien's path and landed the pie along one side of the Prime Minister's face. Mr. Chrétien appeared momentarily stunned, then pulled the pie plate from his face as his eyes seemed to briefly flash with anger. RCMP officers then hustled him into a washroom, as the man was arrested. "You have developed a funny way of serving pies these days," he joked later to Prince Edward Island supporters. "I'm not that hungry."

http://exiledonline.com/feature-new-york-times-hack-eats-horse-sperm-pie/quote:That was where the funny part of the joke came in. It wouldn’t be just a regular old cream pie. It would be a cream pie made of horse sperm, and the winner wouldn’t know this until the rest of Moscow did, when we released the information in the next issue of the eXile—some time, it is to be presumed, after he’d finally managed to calm down from the initial attack, and long after he’d licked the sticky cream off his lips and swallowed it by the teaspoonful.
