Food, WTF?

Considering that, oh I dunno, everyone in Outer Mongolia has seen Star Wars and its sequels, is it really wise for Pizza Hut to rebrand itself simply as "The Hut"?

Thanks to the wonderful Nancy Friedman for the tip.

    Strongly considered, but rejected caption:

    "You may take Captain Solo for Pizza and Breadsticks after I have Skywalker."

    If you can do better than either of these, I look forward to laughing.

    This delivery driver is my kind of scum — fearless and inventive.

    I dunno, for my part, every time I think of Pizza Hut, I always immediately think of Pizza the Hut from Space Balls before I think of Star Wars. So considering that I already associate Pizza Hut with a huge, dripping, disgusting mess, re-branding themselves as "The Hut" has remarkably little change on my perception.

    I want my million spacebucks in a week, or else!

    Or else what?

    Or else PIZZA's gonna take out for YOU!

    I'm assuming they'll be rebranding the personal pan pizza as Pan Solo.

    A tremor in the fork. The last time I felt it was in the presence of my old pasta.

    These are not the sane marketing executives you're looking for.
