Boing Boing reader Renee Rendler-Kaplan of Chicago, IL went to the National Restaurant Association's trade show, and shot this photograph of a terrified pizza pie. I don't really know what this is, actually. I just know that I will never look at pizza the same way again. And, the strange orange color reminds me of Tanning Mom. Or John Boehner. If you're in the area, the NRA expo continues through May 8. (via Boing Boing Flickr Pool)

Boing Boing editor/partner and tech culture journalist Xeni Jardin hosts and produces Boing Boing's in-flight TV channel on Virgin America airlines (#10 on the dial), and writes about living with breast cancer. Diagnosed in 2011. @xeni on Twitter. email: xeni@boingboing.net.

    It’s not the face so much as the pepperoni orange slices. Looks like it’s supposed to be a refrigerator magnet.

        This was the first thing that came to *my* mind. Talk about never being able to look at pizza in the same way.

    Me and my roommates found the same Pizza Face at a thrift store in the Bay Area, and we would hide it in each others rooms in the weirdest places. Let me tell you, finding this face staring at you from closets and under sheets might be one of the most frightening thing i have ever experienced.

    Pizza thought NRA was the National Rifle Association, and was terrified that somebody would feel threatened by it.

    It’s not just pizza – it’s toasters too.  Our kitchens are turning against us.

    Xeni, the NRA is the sworn foe of raising the minimum wage for workers in the industry. They also oppose paid sick days, that might prevent sick workers for preparing your food. They are very evil 1 percenters. Take a look at this video addressing some of the issues of our food chain…. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LZEUwvIHdSs

    reminds me of when I worked at a pizzaria, I would make little figures out of dough, then send them through the oven’s conveyer belt, creating little voodoo dolls to hang in the background of the order window.  my bosses were pretty patient with me.
