Would you have also hit Rupert Murdoch with a pie?

Asked by tedd (14088points) August 2nd, 2011

The man who hit Rupert Murdoch with a pie (though in fairness it was somewhat blocked by Murdoch’s body-guarding-wife) while Murdoch testified before Parliament (in Britain) received 6 weeks in prison for his crime.

I dunno about you, but that would totally be worth it. Imagine the money the guy can probably make of his story even, or just being able to say.. “I hit Rupert Murdoch with a pie.”

Would you do it if you knew that was the punishment you would get?

Nah, all sounds a bit pie in the sky to me.

No. That shitbag deserves a lot more than a pie in his face.

Edit: I am not advocating violence. Just want to make this clear.

6 weeks is still too much for me lol. I’m too good for jail, so I probably wouldn’t do anything.

I’ll gladly do the 12 weeks if I could plant a pie in the face of Obama and Boehner right now.

@Cruiser Imagine how much money we could raise for charity if we got like Obama, Boehner, Limbaugh, Pilosi, etc, etc…. and set them all up on dunk tanks with like $100 per ball (increased pending the popularity of the person on the tank).

Good god we could wipe out the debt in a matter of hours :O

@tedd No doubt! I know that I would cash in my entire 401 K for that chance!

Pff. In the good old days of the French Revolution, he would have made the acquaintance with this.

I would not have. Like I have said before, anyone who is as hugely successful as Rupert Murdoch has done a lot of shit many would consider unsavory and worthy of a pie. I call it a life choice. and yes children, successful people that are your flavor have done shit that would make you cringe too.

Besides, the guy totally stole the who pie thing from a short story about time travel by John Skipp and Craig Spector.

unoriginal fuck

And to think that the environmental activist in Utah who tried to save our public lands by ‘unlawfully’ bidding on them at auction just got two years.
I’m suspicious of this ‘pie in Murdoch’s face’ episode. How did he get that close to the Murdoch’s in a globally televised questioning by Parliament? It not only seemed staged, it proved the ugly and decrepit elite can buy young, beautiful bodyguards and marry them. She’s scary but I want one.

I would hit him with AIDS.

Nope.
I would eat the pie beforehand.

I’m on team should have used a brick.

No, why would I disrespect a pie for that billionaire?

Sounds like a waste of good pie.
