True facts I will never be able to purge from my accursed brain.

The married couple who owned the house in the 80's sitcom "Mr Belvedere" canonically met in Altoona. The premise of the sitcom was that a lower/middle class family ended up with a refined british butler who solved all their issues for them and brought them closer as a family. It was exactly how it sounds.
- Are those Kraft singles!?
  
  yes
- Jim Cornette is a pro-wrestling personality who's known for his fast loud mouth on-air.
  
  He's also known as being hard to get along with by most people.
  
  So in the 1980s, when he was first becoming nationally well known, he would have bickering arguements with his coworkers. He made a list of people he didn't like.
  
  Then in the 1990s, he worked with a guy named Vince Russo, who he still to this day HAAAAAATES. He's quoted as saying "Spite is a hell of a motivator, and it's the reason I'm going to live one day longer than Vince Russo. Just so I can piss on his grave."
  
  So after dealing with Vince Russo, the WWF hired someone he worked with years earlier, and found he wasn't as mad at him as he once was.
  
  He was quoted as saying "You used to be much higher on my shitlist, but you've moved down a few spots simply by not doing anything differently!"
  
  I've always taken that last quote to be an interesting take on perspective. How things can be exactly the same, but your perspective may shift with experience.
  
  With all that said, I see this picture, of something that is being called "Pizza", and I realize that pineapple on pizza isn't the abomination to the form of pizza that I once percieved it as.
  
  Brilliant! We need to spread this message so us Pineapple Pizza lovers wont be so hated.
  
  This is poetry

  thank you for this comforting old meme
  
  Seeing this brings me back to my youth
  
  Epic
- Ewwwwwwwwwwww
- I like how every time I see this identical picture it’s cropped slightly smaller so people can claim it’s a unique image
  
  There it is in full, address of the godforsaken restaurant and all.
- dear god i finally found worse pizza than st. louis style pizza.
- Basically a focaccia topped with tomato sauce, salami, green bell peppers and American cheese.
  
  that ain't even actual amercian cheese (like burger joints use).. this is the individually-wrapped 'singles' garbage.
- I imagine that being served with a big fuck you energy
Petition to nuke Altoona as that pizza is a war crime?
- I wanted to nuke them for ratting on luigi
not even the same person
To be blunt, I don't blame them.

There was a price on his head, and while I understand why he would do what he did (though his direct intentions haven't really been made public), and I agree that there are good reasons for what he did; the fact is, he committed a crime.

While we're all basically cheering on what he did, I'm sure that CEO that I don't care enough about to remember his name, had family and friends and stuff who will miss him greatly.

Those people, under the law, are entitled to justice, the same as you or I are entitled to justice when healthcare CEOs deny coverage that directly leads to someone's death. Though, I don't know how much of the latter has ever transpired. Regardless, the fact that we're entitled to our day in court to get justice, so are they.

Provided Luigi is guilty, of course. This fact has yet to be proven in a court of law.

With all that in mind, and the monetary reward for basically turning him in, for someone working a minimum wage job at McDonald's, that's an easy call. You're technically "doing the right thing" by tipping off police to the whereabouts of a suspect in a murder, and you also get a payday for it. Win-win ? I guess?

Personally, I was hoping that, we the people (or at least the US people), would feel so strongly in support of what was done, that we would individually agree unanimously, that we don't turn this person in, and we just carry on. Sure, authorities would keep looking for him because they're paid to, but the general public simply isn't helping them at all with it.

IMO, that would have sent a very public and very clear message to the people in charge that "we the people" do not care about you. We have the power to do these things and suffer no consequences. We have the power that you think you hold. Do the right thing, or you're next.

Alas, not the case. Oh well.
- The snitch probably will never see a dime from the reward, you need to provide info on very specific ways to be able to collect. What a dumb fuck. I hope we get to find out who the snitch was, I have my theories...
  
  I think you're right. The prospect of being rewarded may have been enough to push them to giving up Luigi.
  
  After the authorities apprehend him, there's every chance that they'll delay, deny, defend against giving out any kind of reward to anyone for their help in finding him.
- i wonder if he had life insurance
