Do I get to make the first cheese-related comment? Or can I cross-post a moose thread?

Damn white folks always eating all the cheese.

Question: did any white folks come in AFTER you were "refused service" and get a pizza?? If not, you've proven nothing.

We had someone in the extended family that worked for Domino's, and they do sometimes run out of fixins'. I'm sure it happens to all the pizza chains from time to time. Can't make pizzas without cheese.

"It was a cheese issue, not a race issue," said Tim McConville, an attorney for the company.

This guy must be a Freeper. Cheese alert!

A moose must have eaten all of the cheese.

An excellent move on the part of the plaintiffs. I think we all realize that the “race hammer” is getting smaller and smaller (principally because it’s abused so frequently in cases like this) so you’d better get your racial umbrage case before a jury fast!

I think it would be pretty easy to prove that they had run out of cheese.

Obviously the company that supplys the cheese knew these black people were itching for pizza, and held back on delivering cheese in a timely mannner.
