WASHINGTON — A new Pizza Hut ad that uses slices of presidential-debate commentary to tout a pizza deal has angered backers of 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 several meat-covered pizzas. Operators of several Web sites who admire the Ohio congressman are urging readers to complain to Pizza Hut. They're not mad about Kucinich being linked to pepperoni; instead, it's the UFO reference that's giving them indigestion. Kucinich's response to a question at an October debate confirming that he once saw an unidentified flying object has brought him considerable publicity. Pizza Hut hasn't received many complaints about the ad, which began airing nationally Thursday night, said company public-relations director Jennifer Little.

Kucinich is cheesy … the ad is great!!!
I really want Kucinich to win the Dem nomination.
Really and seriously (smiling).
Shouldn’t those Democrat complainers be preparing for the arrival of the Mother Ship?
Pepperoni is good stuff.
Why haven’t the other candidates’ complained? All of them have had equal time in the ad.
Ping!
Did they spell his name right? That is all a politician cares about anyway.
Of course he saw a UFO; he uses them to commute, just like any other Vegan.
If Kucinich doesn’t enjoy being made fun of he shouldn’t make it so easy.
