2009-Apr-20: Pizza Sá Fadinha =P

I got speechless when I saw the name and mascot for this pizza place. I had to take a picture and show it here:

Cartoon Brew often publishes some bizarre adaptations of cartoons to sell food, and also when someone spots shameless copies of well known characters. This one fits both cases.

Besides the awful Tinkerbell copy (a Google images search shows the image below on the first page), the name raises the bar of the awfulness: it is a Portuguese pun that means literally "Fairy Sá's Pizza", but sounds like "Naughty Pizza". Man... I don't want to know the taste of that pizza... =P

Cara, se eu te contar que essa 'identidade' é nova.
Antes dessa, a marca era uma mulher de costas (leia de 4) olhando pra trás com uma pizza tapando as partes.
Eu só não tirei uma foto pq não conseguia parar de rir.
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

É verdade... e tem uma pizzaria dessa ali na Leopoldo de Bulhões, no setor Pedro Ludovico, chegando na Jamel Cecílio.

Acho que uma associação ou algo do tipo entrou na justiça contra a identidade antiga que denegria a imagem das mulheres.

Era uma caricatura da mulher melancia usando uma fatia de pizza como calcinha. Bizarrísimo, mas bem bolado... bem bolado. rs
