Walter White Throws a Pizza on The Roof
Stop Throwing Pizzas on Walter White’s Roof
Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan has made a plaintive request to fans of the show to stop re-enacting Walter White’s now-infamous Pizza Moment. For those unfamiliar, the moment was a scene in the show in which the main character, Walter White, angrily launches a pizza onto his roof, getting it stuck there. Apparently, die-hard fans have been making a pilgrimage of sorts to the actual home used in the show, in which an actual couple lives, to throw pizzas onto the roof. You guys, you’ve got to stop doing this.

Con Man Update

The project has a 30-day time limit, but its creators can sit back and relax because the project managed to raise a casual $1.5 million in its first 48 hours. We’re interested to see how high the meter goes on this project.
