Hell Pizza admits they got it wrong

Unimportant · Dec 5, 2011

It's nice to see Kiwi customers leaping up to defend transgenders, and a business immediately owning up to their mistake:

Hell Pizza has apologised for including the message "You will marry a transgender" in their "misfortune" cookies, on its Facebook page which had been inundated with complaints.

"Guys, you're right and we've seen the light on this one. We agree that we may have inadvertently hurt some of our greatest advocates and for that we unreservedly apologize."

That is funny. Both.

Good for them!

God, I love a good apology. I hate "I'm sorry if..." I really love "I'm sorry I ... "

ETA: You know who else gives great apology? Stephen Fry. Sometimes.

Very good. They're the best pizza chain in NZ. I'd hate to have to boycott them...

Unimportant · Dec 5, 2011

I was thinking the same thing, little bird!

I still dream of their lemon pepper wedges despite not having eaten them for 9 years....

Is it a chain?

Unimportant · Dec 5, 2011

Yes, it's a chain. (Though NZ is so small, two stores is enough to make a chain!

)

It sounds like it started as a family business. Is that right?

Edit: just read the link. Interesting!

I think I know what I'm having for dinner tonight...

Sadly I live too far from town, so by the time I got the pizza home it would be cold.

lastlittlebird · Dec 5, 2011

Actually, I don't have a car and can't really afford delivery right now so my pizza would be soggy by the time I got it home (it's bucketing down right now).
Oh well, who's for baked beans on toast instead?

They were the ones who made that interactive zombie film to promote their pizza, right? That was awesome.

I'm glad they apologized and understand why that's wrong. That's probably the most frequent form of transphobia, so it's nice to see someone apologize.
