Pizza ad gives Kucinich backers indigestion

A new Pizza Hut ad uses slices of presidential debate commentary to tout a cut-rate pizza deal,

and as Sabrina Eaton indicates it has upset backers of Cleveland Democratic Rep. Dennis Kucinich. "Are people seeing lower prices now?" the announcer in the ad asks before cutting to a debate segment where Kucinich says: "More people in this country have seen UFOs." When the vegan congressman disappears from the screen, his image is replaced by meat-covered pizzas. Operators of several websites that admire the Cleveland congressmen are urging readers to complain to Pizza Hut. They're not mad about Kucinich being linked to pepperoni despite his meat aversion, or being linked to chain pizza despite his anti-corporate rhetoric. It's the UFO reference that's given them indigestion.

Is this the only thing that makes you think he is from another planet?
