    This is actually why I think we should bring back the old tradition of pieing corrupt politicians and public figures. The humiliation is only half of the message. The other half of the message is “this could have been a weapon, and you only continue to live because I chose a pie instead. Your security needs to win every time, but we only need to touch you once.”

      We’ve basically already brought it back with milkshaking, but a milkshake is much less conspicuous (and cheaper, unless you’re literally just doing whip in a pie tin).
