You have probably heard if before because it might be one of the biggest scandals in the world right now but I couldn't find a thread.
Right now, Austria faces a crisis unlike anything else. Here's what happened.

On sunday former presidential candidate and actual horrible person (no seriously, he is a fucking asshole) Norbert Hofer of the Austrian Freedom Party, which is EXACTLY what you think it is, posted this shocking image on Facebook with the text reading:

This afternoon, Anni wanted to have pizza. I wish you all a nice and relaxing Sunday

Now since most of you are probably very well versed in Austrian meteorology, you obviously noted, that this picture couldn't have been taken right now since the trees in the image are already blossoming which is obviously not the case in Austria right now!

Even Politico wrote about this scandal.
http://www.politico.eu/article/aust...al&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

Meanwhile Hofer has edited the text, stating the image was meant as a symbol. As of now the ramifications of this incident are not clear. I'm writing this from the basement of my house because people are rioting in the streets. God have mercy on my soul.

Seriously though, with all the shit news about people who actually HAVE some political power doing incredibly stupid things I thought this might be a fun distraction. See america, other countries have idiotic politicians as well. Enjoy your pizza (except you Norbert Hofer. Eat shit). Feed me fake Pizza if old

Wait a minute, why the fuck is there an article about his on Politico.

Thank God this wasn't one of those "pineapple on a pizza is horrible hurr durr" threads.

Also: politicians lying? Consider me SHOCKED.

 

[John Caboose]

The real scandal is the lack of pineapple on that pizza.

 

[bidguy]

i thought this was about pineapples

 

[pelicansurf]

Seems like something pretty dumb to lie about considering the internet.

 

[Plumbob]

I think most politicians lie so frequently about small things and get away with it that it comes as a shock when they get caught

 

[Bilix]

Realer scandal is cutting pizza with a knife.

 

[jiggle]

Why do they have forks and knives

 

[Breakage]

I thought this was gonna be about pizza dipped in milk.

 

[Kor of Memory]

Who cuts Pizza with what appears to be a bread knife?

 

[bathsalts]

Fuck is he doing with those knives and forks out?

 

[PlatypusDude]

Realer scandal is cutting pizza with a knife.

[rpmurphy]

Is that corn on the pizza?

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Why do they have forks and knives

Didn't you read the OP? I told you he is horrible person

 

[Phobophile]

It looks like fucking corn

 

[Schadenfreude]

Realer scandal is cutting pizza with a knife.

Why do they have forks and knives

Yeah thats the real crime here. Dude and his family are one of those "pizza with knives and forks" weirdos.

 

[Dude Abides]

How deep does Pizzagate go?

[NoblesseOblige]

That's implied.

 

[see5harp]

I thought it was gonna be some truly fucked up crime like corn on pizza.

#PIZZAGATE

 

[Platy]

Just a weather thing ?

I was thinking they discovered that he lives in the Bahamas or something

 

[Gaardus]

Am I losing my mind, or is that Pizza absolutely goddamn enormous?

 

[hydrophilic attack]

the true pizzagate

 

[Dreadnought]

What is this the Middle Ages?! Use your hands!

 

[RalchAC]

Is that corn on the pizza?

Yes. It's not the first time I've seen corn in pizza.

 

[faridmon]

I feel I am missing something.

What is the issue here? That he is eating the Pizza during the wrong season in Austria? Or the fact the he lied about eating a pizza on said Sunday?

Either way, I really don't see this as a scandal...

 

[Little Old Man]

How deep does Pizzagate go?

Deep into the crust.

 

[AntChum]

Was also expecting pineapple on the pizza, but it looks like I can breathe a sigh of relief. Crisis averted.

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Is that corn on the pizza?

I still want to try that.

Things I want to try on pizza:

Corn
Avocado
Black bean
Watermelon
Peas
Cauliflower
Sweet potato
Mashed red potato
Mango
Fig

Realer scandal is cutting pizza with a knife.

I've cut a pizza with a spoon before. Deal with it.

 

[ruxtpin]

Same siders. Cutting pizza with a knife. Empty glasses. Who do these people think they're kidding?

 

[bonesmccoy]

Using a knife instead of scissors. smh

 

[StopMakingSense]

Is that corn on the pizza?

Could be worse, could be a corn and mayo pizza like they have in Japan.

 

[tuxfool]

That is a proper italian pizza, it is acceptable to eat it with a knife and fork.

...maybe, from that angle I can't actually tell how thin it is.

 

[Diprosalic]

Why do they have forks and knives

we're not animals here in europe.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

The real scandal is the lack of pineapple on that pizza.

OP said he's a horrible person.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Either way, I really don't see this as a scandal...

Tell that to the angry mobs on the streets

 

[thesoapster]

The real scandal is the lack of pineapple on that pizza.

Yeah, OP did say Hofer is a terrible person, so the lack of pineapple is surprising.

 

[Tunoku]

Corn on pizza is not bad.

Also, fuck Norbert Hofer.

 

[rpmurphy]

Could be worse, could be a corn and mayo pizza like they have in Japan.

Oh man, you reminded me of that. D:

 

[Linkark07]

You almost got me for a second OP.

 

[hydruxo]

The real scandal here is the corn on the pizza

 

[koji kabuto]

I was expecting pineapples, I didn't find any

 

[Grym]

The real scandal is corn on the fucking pizza. Not to mention knives and forks

 

[KingSnake]

Forks and knives for pizza? Ugh.

 

[Tagyhag]

1. Corn on pizza is actually good, just like egg on pizza.

2. Ain't nothing wrong with using utensils for pizza in the comfort of your own home!

I feel I am missing something.

Either way, I really don't see this as a scandal...

Fantastapotamus is just being silly but it is funny how people like Hofer could lie about any single small thing so easily, like, how can people even trust you?

 

[TheOfficeMut]

Has anyone ever had macaroni or pasta pizza? Last time I had it I believe it was rigatoni on top of the slice. One time I had macaroni and cheese on top of the pizza as well.

 

[Bedameister]

Is that corn on the pizza?

Corn on Pizza is amazing.

Everything with corn in it is amazing!
