Papa Johns Pulls Ads from Wonkette After Revolting Post About Trig Palin
Newsrealblog ^ | Wednesday April 20, 2011

Posted on 04/20/2011 1:45:59 PM PDT by Bigtigermike

This is what needs to be done and thanks to sites like Twitter and to citizen journalism, it can happen. Papa Johns was alerted to the beyond odious post on Wonkette and, as a result, they say they are taking steps to ensure their ads no longer appear on the sewer slime trash site.

@robertcurlin Thank you for alerting us to this. We’ve taken steps to make sure our advertising doesn’t appear on that site in the future. about 3 hours ago via HootSuite in reply to robertcurlin

If you choose to be disgusting and vile in order to garner the attention you so desperately crave, don’t be surprised when that attention backfires when those with common decency are outraged and call you out on it. And when advertisers use their right to pull their ads from sites that publish absolute filth. Well done, Papa Johns.

went online, found the nearest papajohns and reviewed menu, we ordered two large pizzas, the special running here just outside indianapolis is two for twenty dollars and we got a three dollar cinnamon small pizza like thing (that is FABULOUS) and just finished devouring part of it.

We will be going back to papa johns...I am not kidding. It is the best pizza we have had in years and years and the first time in the 15 yrs we have lived here that we purchased one.

Our bad!

I also told the manager there that we were there to give them business because of the rapid way John took his ad off of a website (and named wonkette) that ridiculed Sarah Palin's little child. I asked her to please send this info to htq. and she wrote down everything. Hope she does.

I went to his facebook page and it doesn’t even look like he’s a Georgetown graduate. And - if you can believe it - he was an English major.

Good. I know I will be turning to him for my pizzas from now on...I mean...they are GOOD! Sad this whole thing happened, but kinda of happy about it to. I’m not trying to sell this pizza, I’m just kinda glad that since we did it, we’re really glad to know how good it is.

So that’s made my decision on dinner tonight ... calling Papa John’s (whose pizza imo is the best of the deliveries).

He doesn’t say he graduated from Georgetown just that he went there. Usually when people are graduates, they post it along with their degree (B.A. or B.S. - the latter which perfectly suits him, lol!).

I last had Papa Johns many years ago and didn’t like it much. We’ll see how it goes tonight.

“I suggest we all go out and by a Papa John’s pizza this week. And if Hugs pulls their ads, I’ll buy some diapers today. No babies here but I’ll buy them anyhow.”

Are we saying that this site was a model citizen BEFORE the disgusting Trig Palin post? Not familiar with the @$$h01e$ there but I kinda doubt it.

Geez, I’m not saying anything like that. How the hell do I know about that? They did the right thing in dropping Wonkette and I am going to reward them.
