New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg was denied a second slice of pizza today at an Italian eatery in Brooklyn.

The owners of Collegno's Pizzeria say they refused to serve him more than one piece to protest Bloomberg's proposed soda ban,which would limit the portions of soda sold in the city.

Bloomberg was having an informal working lunch with city comptroller John Liu at the time and was enraged by the embarrassing prohibition. The owners would not relent, however, and the pair were forced to decamp to another restaurant to finish their meal.

Witnesses say the situation unfolded when as the two were looking over budget documents, they realized they needed more food than originally ordered.

"Hey, could I get another pepperoni over here?" Bloomberg asked owner Antonio Benito.

"I'm sorry sir," he replied, "we can't do that. You've reached your personal slice limit."

Mayor Bloomberg, not accustomed to being challenged, assumed that the owner was joking.
"OK, that's funny," he remarked, "because of the soda thing ... No come on. I'm not kidding. I haven't eaten all morning, just send over another pepperoni."

"I'm sorry sir. We're serious," Benito insisted. "We've decided that eating more than one piece isn't healthy for you, and so we're forbidding you from doing it."

"Look jackass," Bloomberg retorted, his anger boiling, "I fucking skipped breakfast this morning just so I could eat four slices of your pizza. Don't be a schmuck, just get back to the kitchen and bring out some fucking pizza, okay."

"I'm sorry sir, there's nothing I can do," the owner repeated. "Maybe you could go to several restaurants and get one slice at each. At least that way you're walking. You know, burning calories."

Witnesses say a fuming Bloomberg and a bemused Liu did indeed walk down the street to a rival pizzeria , ordered another slice and finished their meeting.

New York's so-called "soda ban" would have limited the size of sweetened beverages served in restaurants to 16 oz (0.5 liters). The plan, backed by Mayor Bloomberg, is currently being held up by a U.S. district court.

Spoil sport.

I predict I'll be seeing this from my dear conservative friends (and my Mom, she's super-gullible) on Facebook for years. Along with the quote from Cicero about fixing an economy that was actually from a historical novel written in the 1960s.

Bloomberg is kind of like a dictator ala Hugo Chavez. Of course I haven't been to NYC since 1962. I guess it's changed a bit.

"The Drudge Report Fell Hard for This Fake Bloomberg Pizza Revenge Story" = fooled for two minutes? LOL at Atlantic criticizing another editor.

Turd, don't make light of this. It's the only consolation the Nanny Sympathizers have.

You guys mean to say this story isn't true? Shit, I liked believing it!

Facts aside, he's a rich Jew ass who thinks he's smarter than the rest of us. I'd rather be down south with the nigras, than up north with that arrogant prick trying to run a plantation for the unwashed masses.

Awesome. That makes structuring an argument so much easier.

That's the Atlantic's headline policy in a nutshell.

I ain't arguing shit...I'm just telling you how it is.

There's some sort of conservative-leaning "I'm tired..." bullshit that Bill Cosby purportedly said, but he didn't, that is making the regular rounds.

Of course the libs invented "fake but accurate" with the typed 1970s memos about Bush's service record that were obviously done using Microsoft Word.

Fooled until they got bitch-slapped by the reality of it. This one will echo for years, as it keeps getting "rediscovered" and viraled within various right-leaning intellectual circle-jerk forums, same as on the left. This guy got tooled. You'd think people would learn that too good to be true means it most likely ain't true.

No, I wouldn't. Case and point: http://obamacarefacts.com/obamacare-facts.php
Same is true of political spin in general.

The falsity of the story doesn't diminish its truth.

Racism and antisemitism aside, Kaz and I have come to the same (correct) conclusion.

It was a nice, round 290 until you showed up.

I'm gonna move to NY City and bootleg cola and orange drink and root beer, and soon enough I'll have speakeasies set up all the way up to the upper west side where fat children and socialites alike will swill-down my bathtub soda pop.

I'm gonna be rich.

One of my buddies from high school was recently fooled by the Onion's article here. http://www.theonion.com/articles/romney ... -me,32185/ Complete with a diatribe about how we don't deserve a man of such compassion because we're all kool-aid drinking vote fraud artists.

Don't you mean vote fraud victims?

if you are a victim, it is because you lack artistry
