If you thought pineapple on pizza was blasphemous, brace yourself because someone just made a far worse combination. It seems that aliens are real, and one seems to have actually escaped Area 51 because they’re trying to make kiwi on pizza a thing. Yes, that fuzzy egg-shaped fruit with a green, seedy center.

I recently wrote about my Wife's experience while serving at a hospital in Tanzania with a 24 year old New Zealander. The girl was well versed in anti-American propaganda and felt compelled to heap abuse on my Wife.

During our brief phone call, I provided her with some basic facts to combat the Kiwi's propaganda regurgitations. Afterward I decided to dig deeper into the youngster's bigotry and did some research into New Zealand's attitudes towards Americans. What I found...
