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.

(27,461 posts)this is the problem with the Daily Currant's satire, I usually just feel tricked. This is something that easily could have happened, some restaurant could have done that, I'm just bummed that it turns out to be made up.

Caligula was known to have breathed air... quite often. Are you in good company also, or do your gills prevent you cavorting with tyrants?
This is what happens we when discard logic for the convenient (yet ineffectual) rhetorical score to impress the kids at the back of the class-- we look like idiots, more so if it's pointed out to us and we simply dig in even stronger.
