Pizza + Soldiers = World Record
While an order for 28,000 take-out pizzas is a bit unusual, Uno’s handled it with great aplomb as they recently fulfilled the order to U.S. soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. Operation Pizza Surge was the brainchild of Pizzas 4 Patriots Founder Ret. Master Sergeant Mark Evans, who recruited UNO’s original deep-dish pizza to supply the pies and DHL Express to ship them. The event was recorded by Guinness as the World’s Largest Pizza Party, and plans call for another pizza party for the 2010 Super Bowl. Thanks to all involved in making our soldiers’ day a little brighter with the universal comfort food of pizza. Although coffee isn’t the beverage of choice for pizza, you get three cups as this week’s Virtual Cup of Joe recipient.
The virtual Cup of Joe Award from EveryDayPR spotlights our pick of the week for a public relations performance – good, bad or ugly. If you’d like to make a nomination, contact shart@hartpr.com or www.Twitter/susanhartpr
I think they had to lie to bait the trap, which creates a problem. Police telling lies is a bad thing, and they do it all the time. They're trained to do it. They lose sight of right and wrong and end up lying, not only to suspects, but to witnesses, victims and everyone else. When our truck was stolen, police told my wife that they had security footage of her driving it and a witness who saw her. This was, of course a complete fabrication, as she didn't even drive at the time, and certainly not a stick.
