1. Dominoes is generally pretty disgusting to begin with.

Last couple of times I've eaten there the pizza tasted like cardboard with cheese - this isn't suprising.

12. Of course, while nothing went to customers (as claimed), it's still a big waste of FOOD.

Food isn't cheap.

Thank you for searching and finding that!!

I dislike Dominoes because the food is grease in a cardboard box, but what those two punks did was just _wrong_. On plenty of levels.

5. Well, at least they aren't as bad as Pizza Slut
YUM! (Pizza Slut, Taco Hell, Kentucky Flied Lice) - Republican slime distributors.

But yeah, Dominos sucks too. Papa John's is the only national chain that makes good pizza.

17. After growing up on real pizzeria pizza from NY pizzerias, I can't really say...
that Papa John's is more than marginally better than Pizza hut. But I guess I'm spoiled. :hi:

15. The founder of Dominos, Tom Monaghan, is an extremist rightwing nutbag
Edited on Tue Apr-14-09 04:48 PM by Arugula Latte
He's a far, far right Catholic who supports Operation Rescue, founded a group to oppose the ACLU, opened Ave Maria School of Law (associated with Scalia), etc. etc. I'm sure he's Opus Dei, too.

19. Papa John's?!
Their pizza sucks the big one!

I'm sure it's not the same everywhere, but we ordered a Papa John's pizza once and it was the worst pizza, ever! It looked and tasted like cardboard -- I would have been embarassed to serve that shit to my customers.

6. I was considering the possibility that this video was real....
up until the point where the employees claimed to be gay.

Dominoes is one of the most horrifyingly right wing corporations on the planet. So they wouldn't allow any "out" gay employees in the first place, and would probably fire any that outed themselves on a You Tube video. For being gay, not for putting boogers on sandwiches.

So I'm thinking this is bullshit. Not sure who, how, or what the motivation is, but hardly the image that an ultra right wing corporation wants out there.

9. 1. This isn't a video made / published by the corporation.
So... there goes your point about this not being the image they'd want out there.

2. I took the 'gay' stuff as joking. As in she was teasing him. Maybe not... but in that case, I doubt every Domino's franchise owner is a homophobe.

11. Or if they were anti-gay, would they not tolerate the video because it creates a new stereotype?
I don't think they were gay either.

And they sure won't be gay if they were axed. Any corporation has an issue over the perception of its business. I sure as hell would NEVER think of calling Dominoes, having just seen that. Much less most other fast food places.

But enough babble. How disgusting that video is on its own; if it were legitimate, somebody at the HQ would seek out the franchise and there would be real trouble.

Could be fake, but then why would anybody allow two teenage punks to do that? Again, image and perception.

Either way, somebody at Dominoes is going to be rather upset over what is clearly their uniforms, their kitchens, et cetera (or that's one hell of a mock-up...)

Most sitcoms are allowed to say a product's name and the occasional joke, but what went on in that video is too far - and crosses so many lines I ran out of fingers and toes and other appendages to use. Pity the cute straight guy didn't whip his 2cm schlong out to add to the pitcher of lemonade...

13. Their cadence and inflection - Floridian accent, perhaps?

20. Found a video response - somebody even put the chick's home address as a comment!

(Note: The franchise was in North Carolina - pity it wasn't Florida...)
