"A pie has to hit … and explode into a thousand pieces so you see the person's face and see it take away his dignity."
—Soupy Sales
Legendary comedian, television host, and film star Soupy Sales has died at age 83. The funnyman, who claimed he'd been hit by 20,000 pies in his lifetime, was an inspiration to many animal defenders. Big names like Mickey Rooney, Frank Sinatra, and Sammy Davis Jr. clamored for a chance to be pied by Soupy. Animal abusers try to "duck and cover" from the Soupy-inspired tofu-cream projectiles that have been hurled by animal advocates over the years.
On this day, let's honor Mr. Sales by taking a few moments to reflect on some of our favorite pieing moments.

So many pies, so many laughs. So many thanks, Soupy. Animal defenders couldn't have done it without you.

I hope those who pied respectable individuals without their consent are sent to jail.

I hope the "pieing" of animal abusers/exploiters NEVER ENDS as a lasting memorial to Soupy Sales!!

Logical Perspective,
So it is 'logical' to let people who are responsible for the death of countless animals live freely? You really think that throwing a pie at someone deserves jail, but the monsters who sentence millions of animals to death every day should walk free with no punishment?
Wrong.

Nevermind that, I'm an idiot and I don't understand real issues.

Logical,
I didn't call you an idiot. I was merely pointing out that your original comment was ridiculous. I think we can all agree that if anyone deserves jail time in this situation, it's the fur-wearing murderers such as Wintour and her fellow hags.
I think that is the truly "logical perspective".

well, logical perspective...we're here to help! see, torturing and killing animals is wrong. get it? no? read the sentence again. slower this time....torturing....and killing....animals...is........wrong. pieing someone who supports these things is, well, not too high a price to pay. let us know if its still puzzling to you.

Its fine that your pieing people in the face for what you believe in but its a little hokey just to say RIP Soupy Sales just to go "Hey look at everyone we pied in the face for animal rights."

@Mike
Sorry for double posting but I agree Mike.
Sadly the person throwing the pie will still deserve jail time but god bless that person for throwing a pie for a cause. :)
