A Slice Of Scandal

The biggest secret of the pizza world has reared its saucy head.

A Slice Of Scandal

Watergate. Benghazi. These words are synonymous with scandal, controversy, and for some, even shame. But there’s a far more treacherous secret that the media doesn’t want you to know about. A secret some will kill for in order to keep hidden. I’m talking, of course, about Papa John’s Pizza. Papa John, America’s saucy sweetheart, has defiled the pizza he loved, and I’ve finally got the evidence to prove it.

What first alerted me to Papa’s perversion was this video:

A seemingly harmless video of the Papa and his son, Beau, promoting the brand new online ordering experience. But behind this happy façade, a dark truth looms. Take a closer look at the interactions between the pair.

Look at Beau’s eyes.


Do you see the contempt, the hatred?

Now look here, when Papa goes for the high-five.

Beau is almost astounded by the physical contact he’s receiving from his father. It’s like he hasn’t high-fived him in years. Where, if not to Beau, does that father-son love go?

I did some digging into Papa John’s past through a high-tech, untraceable database.

My hope was to discover how he rose to pizza power, but what I found was far more disturbing. Papa John’s was founded in 1984. Yet his oldest child, Kristine, was not born until 1987. Why then, was he referred to as “Papa” John?

Then it hit me. The slices of evidence came together to form a pie of truth. You see, Beau isn’t Papa’s first son. He had another son on May 25, 1983–made of pizza.

His name is Dough, and he is the true heir to Papa’s company, property, and stock share holdings. It’s unclear who mothered the child, but my findings narrow the search down to either a Kenmore or GE model oven.

(Pictured above, Dough Schnatter, born six pounds, four cheeses)

This discovery explains everything. Beau is jealous of the attention his father gave Dough, explaining his strange performance in the commercial. The date of birth explains John’s choice of title, “Papa.” So why isn’t this story being covered by the media? Think about it.

If this story broke, the public image of Papa John would plummet, causing a crash on Wall Street and economic turmoil. Not to mention the fact that America’s faith in pizza leadership would be shattered.

The risk is high, but pizza always tastes better when there’s some truth on the side. Dough’s whereabouts are currently unknown. For all we know, he could’ve been delivered to a customer in the hopes of destroying the evidence. What’s important is that now you know, too. Whether others believe you is irrelevant. It’s time to deliver the truth.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
